cout is an object of class ostream that represents the standard output stream. So the class is ostream not cout.

cout is a object and not a function. cout is an output stream object that refers to the monitor whereas cin refers to the keyboard.Both are defined in the header file <iostream.h>

count is a object of a ostream class and we can include a library file in program header, and using this object user can print a data on console.

It belongs to iostream class so member of any class is an object.

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.
