The values and expressions used in C++ are displayed using the cout extractor. To make the displaying of data more realistic, the cout is configured to handle or format data to any desired result. While the cout (as a class) is defined in the iostream file, some other files provide other extensive techniques for displaying data to the console. The C language also is equipped with other formatting functions used for the same purpose. The ability to create a program made of mixed C and C++ language enhances these formatting possibilities.
