Explore the full potential of C++ by mastering the standard library.

Become a C++ Programmer

The C++ standard library is a collection of all the tools and utilities available in C++. It received its latest update in 2017, known as C++17. The update introduces many new features that further optimize our code. This module will help us fully grasp C++ and use it to its full potential.

C++ Standard Library

|Name|Description|
|-|-|
|`basic_streambuf<>`|Reads and writes the data|
|`ios_base`|Properties of all stream classes independent on the character type|
|`basic_ios<>`|Properties of all stream classes dependent of the character type|
|`basic_istream<>`|Base for the stream classes for the reading of the data|
|`basic_ostream<>`|Base for the stream classes for the writing of the data|
|`basic_iostream<>`|Base for the stream classes for the reading and writing of the data|

The class hierarchy has type synonyms for the character types `char` and `wchar_t`. Names not starting with `w` are type synonyms for `char`, names starting with `w` for `wchar_t`. 

The base classes of the class `std::basic_iostream<>` are virtually derived from  `std::basic_ios<>`, therefore `std::basic_iostream<>` has only one instance of `std::basic_ios`.

In this lesson, we will get insight into the structure of input/output streams.
