I found a tiny PDF that explains the input/output stream object the other day, you can download and read it if you want, it's small just 84kB, you can get it here: https://courses.cs.vt.edu/cs1044/Notes/C04.IO.pdf Hth, cmiiw

cout is standard output stream for C++, example cout << "Hellow" and your console will be displayed "Hellow"

i don't know the reason why it called "c"out, but there alot "c", like "c"in (cin), "c"err, and "c"log.

'c' stands for console by default most systems have their standard output set to the console, where text messages are shown, although this can generally be redirected. It can also stand for character. The "out" stands for output Thus "console output" or "character output" Answer from stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4901765/cout-what-it-stands-for

I think it’s between the output and input
