Chapter 4INPUT AND OUTPUT OBJECTS
Chapter 4
• The cout ObjectThe cout object is used to display information to the monitor and is contained in the iostream.h and iostream header files.
Chapter 4
• Using the cout Object
cout << item #1 << item #2 << item #3 << ·· << item #n;
Chapter 4
Monitor
<< item #1 << item #2 << item #3 ... << item #n;
item #1 item #2 item #nitem #3 ...
Stream of Data Items to be Displayed
cout
cout
• The cout Output Stream Flows to the System Monitor
Chapter 4
HELLO-
Cursor returns to beginning of next line.
HELLO -
Cursor remains at next positionon current line.
cout << "HELLO";
cout << "HELLO\n";
cout << "HELLO" << endl;
OR
• Using \n and endl
Chapter 4
• The C++ Escape Sequences Used with cout
\a Beep
\b Backspace
\n CRLF
\r CR
\t Horizontal tab
\v Vertical tab
\\ Backslash
\' Single quote
\” Double quote
\? Question mark
Chapter 4
• I/O Stream Manipulatorssetw(n) Sets field width to nsetprecision(n) Sets floating-point
precision to nsetfill(n) Sets fill character to nws Extracts white space charactersendl Inserts a new line in the output
stream, thenflush Flushes the output stream
Chapter 4
• Setting the Field Width
cout << setw(field width) << output item;
Chapter 4
• Generating Decimal Point Values
cout.setf(ios::fixed );cout.precision(n);
Chapter 4
• Generating Left-Justified Values
cout.setf(ios::fixed); cout.setf( ios::left);
Chapter 4
• Generating Currency Values
cout.setf(ios::fixed);cout.setf(ios::showpoint);cout.precision(2);
Chapter 4
• Formatting Functions and Flags
setf() Sets a formatting flag. unsetf() Unsets a formatting flag.
precision(n) Sets decimal output to n decimal places.
fixed Forces fixed decimal point output.
left Forces left justification within field.
right Forces right justification within field.
scientific Forces exponential, e, output.
showpoint Forces a decimal point to be displayed along with trailing 0’s.(Used for currency outputs)
showpos Forces a + sign output for positive values.
Chapter 4
• The cin ObjectThe cin object is used to read information from the keyboard and is contained in the iostream.h and iostream header files.

• The cin Input Stream Flows from the Keyboard
Chapter 4
• Using the cin Objectcin >> variable to be read;
– Only one character is read at a time.– White space (blanks, tabs, new lines, carriage
returns, etc.) are ignored by cin when using the >> operator. However, white space can be read using different cin functions.
– Numeric values can be read as characters, but each digit is read as a separate character.
Chapter 4
• Using get() and put() For Single Character Data
cin.get(character variable);cout.put(character variable);
Chapter 4
• Reading Strings Using getline()
getline(input stream, string object,
'delimiting character’);– To avoid a potential problem, use the line
cin >> ws before the cin.getline() statement.
Chapter 4
• Opening an Input Fileifstream fin(”file path");
• Opening an Output Fileofstream fout(”file path");
• Opening an Input/Output Filefstream finout(“file path”);
Chapter 4
• Processing an Open File if(!fileObject)
{
cout << "This file cannot be opened" << endl;
exit(1);
}//END IF
else
{
while (Read Data Item From Input File )
{ //BEGIN LOOP
Process data item.
} //END LOOP
}//END ELSE
