The former is standard C++. The latter is pre-standard, obsolete C++ (Turbo C++). Do not use the latter. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/288609/?ref=app

#include<iostream> is used for importing c++ libraries. The .h syntax is used in C and was also implemented in C++ for importing built-in standard C libraries. So for importing iostream library you should use the former one.
