cout what?

[Maulik]

cout << variable;

or

cout >> variable;

[Gamblor]

doesn't your compiler tell you?

[PoBoy321]

I'm pretty sure it's cout >> variable

Of course, I haven't done any C++ in like 3 years.

[TheCodeDog]

cout << variable;

To remember, cout is output and look at what direction the less than signs seem to indicate.

[jakethebake]

[GrunchCan]

cout << variable.

cin >> variable.

cout << variable
the data is going from the variable to the console

cin >> variable
the data is going from the console to the variable

Yup, and I believe that's why B.S. chose << and >> to be the stream insertion/extracton operators in the first place, as opposed to some other operator.

yeah. let's not get into a discussion about overloading those operators and the ridiculousness of making that the first thing most people learn.

Have you read Accelerated C++? I do a lot of C++ mentoring at my job, and thought it might be a good choice for me to use instread of the "traditional" methods.
