[edit] I/O

Also commonly referenced as the C++ I/O of the C++ standard since the standard also includes the C Standard library and its I/O implementation, as seen before in the Standard C I/O Section.

The <iostream> library automatically defines a few standard objects:

• cout, an object of the ostream class, which displays data to the standard output device.
• cerr, another object of the ostream class that writes unbuffered output to the standard error device.
• clog, like cerr, but uses buffered output.
• cin, an object of the istream class that reads data from the standard input device.

The <fstream> library allows programmers to do file input and output with the ifstream and ofstream classes.

TODO Remember to complete with the String Stream class and include the various io stream format flags.
