Is it possible to shorten commands such as cout, cin, etc?

For example can I change cout to like c?

Yes, in fact. Try something like this: #include <iostream> #define c cout using namespace std; int main(){ c << "Hello, World!" << endl; return 0; }

so the command is #define (variable) (command)?

Not just commands. You can do this with pretty much anything. If you felt like replacing semicolons with "semi" for some reason, you could write: #define semi ;
