    Study Notes

    Streams

    • A stream is a sequence of bytes.
    • Represents a flow of data.
    • Examples include input from a keyboard and output to a monitor.

    Stream Classes

    • ios is the base class for input/output stream classes (istream, ostream, streambuf).

    • ios is a virtual base class for efficiency.

    • istream is the base class for input streams.

    • ostream is the base class for output streams.

    • iostream is derived from both istream and ostream.

    • istream handles input, providing functions like get, getline, read, ignore, support for extracting data (e.g., using the extraction operator >>).

    • ostream handles output, offering functions like write, put, and support for inserting data (using the insertion operator <<).
