what do you mean by a standard output stream ?

[vw4x4]

can anyone tell what standard output stream means?

It only takes a Google search for "standard output stream" to get the answer as #1 result: A Wikipedia page explaining standard streams in computer programming. A lot faster than asking without researching.

We are usually helpful around here, but you must learn how to research things by yourself as well.

basicly, it's cout

[Aramil of Elixia]

the standard output stream of a language (in c++ its ostream cout, c is printf();, batch is echo etc etc) is the most traditional, or standard way of printing text to the screen. it is called a stream because it is streaming it through printing it to the screen

And this is exactly the same question as your earlier thread.

Edit: Actually the third time now - there is another one in the beginners forum.
