How to Redirect Cout and Cin
C++ is a programming language introduced by Bell Labs in 1979. Originally called "C with Classes," it was renamed C++ in the early 1980s. The C++ functions "cin" and "cout" are part of the Standard Template Library and are written using a notation that implies a directional flow. You must add this redirection into your code to properly use these functions to flow input to the application and to direct output from the application.
