Yacine Kchaou printf is function which can be used both in c and c++ cout is object which can be used only in c++ printf requires type specifier like %d %c etc where as cout does not require type specifier

Yacine Kchaou it's very generalized to say confused between both... there are two answer you got and kindly go through same... again if you are confuse, feel free to specify your confusion rather than simply saying generalized words...this may help others to help you clear your confusion..
