printf / cout 1

[gusset]

here's a starter for ten (101 test question for americans)

i am just starting to learn C++. some books tell me to output a stream to the console using printf and others say cout.

is one superceded by the other?

printf can be used in either C or C++ programs
cout is C++ only
