Well, it is very common in programming languages to have responsible keywords for printing data output.
Some are classic like echo
, print
, printf
and write
, etc..
But in the C/C++
we have the cout
. For me, this word makes no sense to be related to printing data (I mean in a translation, for example). I couldn’t even find a translation for that word.
For example:
int main()
{
cout << "Imprimindo o famoso HELLO WORLD!!!\n";
return 0;
}
What is the meaning of the word cout
after all?
fopen()
it’s also not so obvious so hehe.– rray

f
=> file.– Wallace Maxters
In C the identifier
cout
is not reserved. You can use it for whatever you want, for example:int cout = 42;
orstruct cout { double cin; };
