Which statement best captures the main point of this lesson?
Complete the missing token from the example code.
#___ <iostream>Put the learning moves in the order that makes the concept easiest to apply.
The cout object, together with the << operator, is used to output values and print text.
Just remember to surround the text with double quotes ( "" ):
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout
<< "Hello World!";
return 0;
}You can add as many cout objects as you want. However, note that it does not insert a new line at the end of the output:
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout
<< "Hello World!";
cout
<< "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}Tip
You will learn how to add new lines in the C++ New Lines chapter .
