Input of items in C++

C++ provides streams as a much more flexible mechanism than C++ files. Ths following example gives the flavour of this.

Thus the program

#include<iostream.h>

int main()
{
   int i1;
   char c1;
   float f1;
   char s1[6];
   cin >> i1 >> c1 >> f1 >> s1;
   return 0;
}

will input the line

3e3.4yes

and store the value 3 in i1, 'e' in c1, 3.4 in f1 and "yes" in s1.
