Yes, cout is an object of the class ostream, and ostream is a class not cout thus cout is an object of the class ostream.

cout is an object of class ostream that represents the standard output stream. So the class is ostream and object is cout.

We have already known operator means it will be performed some kind of operations between two are more operands. likewise here ,,"cout " perform an input operation by using the symbol ">>" but the same time it is an object.

How it is possible?

Because cout is a object for (derived class or sub class) ostream .and it's main class is "iostream.h" so the answer is (c) OBJECT.

In C programming language, We consider printf and scanf to be functions. when it comes to cout and cin, in C++ what are they?

I mean they cant be functions as they are not followed by parenthesis, so they are not functions .cout is an object of the class.

The cout is an object of class ostream that represents the standard output stream oriented to narrow characters (of type char). It corresponds to the C stream stdout.

In c++, iostream is the header file, which contains i stream and o stream, jectathis two are objects, so cin is istream object and cout is ostream object.

Cout: is an object of type ostream.

Cin: is an object of type istream.

cout is an object, then why it is used without the class name?

Rahul said:   8 years ago
Std::cout and std::cin are global objects of classes std::ostream and std::istream, which they've overloaded operator << and >>. You should read about operator overloading. The Cout is the object of type ostream. Cin is the object of type istream.
