00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:06,960
In this section of the course,

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,460
we'll look at how c++ uses streams for IO.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,460
First, we'll learn what streams are, and how they help abstract the complexity

4
00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:19,340
away from working with different types of input and output devices.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,300
Then we'll learn about some of c++ stream manipulators.

6
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:27,660
These are functions that can affect how we read and write data to and from strings.

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,410
Then we'll learn about sum of c++ stream manipulators.

8
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:35,610
These are functions that can affect how we read and write data to and from streams.

9
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:41,150
We'll learn about stream manipulators that affect Boolean integer and floating point values.

10
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:45,850
And then we'll use some manipulators that work with any type of data to help us format our output.

11
00:00:46,450 --> 00:00:49,450
These manipulators give us the ability to align text,

12
00:00:49,450 --> 00:00:53,650
fill blank areas with specific characters and set the width of output fields.

13
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:57,600
Then we'll do a challenge where we'll use the manipulators to format a

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800
report containing information about tours to South America.

15
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,900
After the stream manipulators, we'll learn about input files. How to open them,

16
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,500
check to see if they were opened successfully, read from them and then close them.

17
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:13,300
We'll read from them using both formatted and unformatted IO.

18
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,700
And we'll do two challenges using input files.

19
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:19,060
The first is to create an automated grader,

20
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:23,420
that will grade student quiz responses from a text file and produce a report of the results.

21
00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:25,580
For the second challenge,

22
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:28,880
we'll ask the user for a word and see how many times that word appears

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,980
in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, which is stored on a file and disk.

24
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:35,890
Then we'll learn about output files and how they work.

25
00:01:35,890 --> 00:01:40,880
We'll learn to open them, write to them in both formatted and unformatted modes and close them.

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,800
And then we'll do another challenge that creates a copy of Romeo and Juliet, but adds line numbers to the play.

27
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:51,090
Then we'll wrap up this section by looking at string streams.

28
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:54,990
This allows us to use in-memory strings as streams

29
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:58,090
and use the same IO techniques that we use with files

30
00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:00,590
with in-memory strings, it's very powerful,

31
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:04,190
and we'll also see how we can use string streams for data validation.

32
00:02:04,690 --> 00:02:08,490
As you'll see in this section, IDE is different where they store files

33
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:10,090
for use within the IDE.

34
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:12,460
In the last video of the section,

35
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:16,450
I'll show you how to set up external text files for reading in visual studio,

36
00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:18,810
code blocks,c line and XCode.

37
00:02:19,310 --> 00:02:21,510
Okay we've got a lot to get to, let's get going.
