C++ Library - <ostream>



Introduction

It is an output stream objects can write sequences of characters and represent other kinds of data. Specific members are provided to perform these output operations.

typedef basic_ostream<char> ostream;

Parameters

  • charT − Character type.

  • traits − Character traits class that defines essential properties of the characters used by stream objects.
