Answer / mukta b

• Cin : Represented by insertion operator >>
Cout : Represented by extraction operator <<

• cin : is an object of input streams like consoles, files, etc.
Cout : is an object of output streams that's used to show outputs.

• cin : is an input statement
cout : is an output statement

Example :
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a;
cout<<"Enter value for a: "; //taking value of a
cin>>a; //inputing value
cout<<"A = "<<a; //outputing value
getch();
}
