Object is the simple variable of a class. So if we will open <iostream> header then we can found the statement.

Extern ostream cout; means cout is the variable of ostream class so. For this reason it is an object.

If count is an object in iostream.h, then what is the name of class of count's object, because every object must have an class.

I think cout is a function similar to printf in C programming. It may be an object only when we define it so but primarily it can't be an object.
