What is iostream?
iostream is a fundamental header in the C++ Standard Library that handles input and output (I/O) operations. It provides classes like istream for input, ostream for output, and iostream for combined I/O. cin, cout, cerr, and clog are predefined objects within iostream for standard input, standard output, standard error output, and buffered logging, respectively. Use the #include <iostream> directive to incorporate this functionality into your programs.
