Hi,
I'm wondering what 'c' in "cout", "cin" mean? Does it mean "C++"? Or
the 'c' in <cassert>?
Thanks,
Peng

My guess is that it stands for "console".

I doubt that. It just writes to a stream; the standard output stream in
this case. That usually also happens to be a console, but that's
system-dependent.
Stroustrup claims the 'c' stands for character.

Stroustrup claims the 'c' stands for character.
Which surprisingly matches wcout for wide-character output. ;-)

I read somewhere (but I can't find the source) that functions in C
which have been adopted into C++ have the letter 'C' put in front, so
'function' becomes 'cfunction'.

Can you name one? Maybe you are thinking of the standard library
headers (<stdio.h-<cstdio>)?

It's a good thing you can't find the source, 'cause it's wrong. <gWe
did that with the C header names, but not with functions or variables.

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of standard library headers. But
'cout' and 'cin' seem so obviously 'out' and 'in' with a 'c' in front
that I thought the same must apply.
