Enterprise Sepples

Does your project use iostream?  I always hear about iostream as the example of C⁺⁺'s bloat, do those forced to use the language actually use it?

>>16
No.
< is not for input.
a < b in the shell feeds b's contents to a.
cout << "hello". What's so hard to grasp about that? It's the same
a > b writes the output of a to b.
cin >> i;
cin reads (and evaluates) to some value, which is written to i. (Actually, it's not that way in C++, but you get the point, don't you?)
