Why has everybody suddenly stopped using iostream.h. How do you use iostream. Should I change my programming style?
The header "iostream.h" is deprecated, "iostream" is the new header. The new header''s contents are also placed in the std namespace.

Suddenly? The change came in 1998. Should you change? It''s up to your tastes and depends if you work with old code or not.
Options, options:
Choose one.
#include <iostream>int main(){ std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;} #include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ cout << "Hello world" << endl;} #include <iostream>using std::cout;using std::endl;int main(){ cout << "Hello world" << endl;} Choose one.

Wow, that''s simple. I''ll try using namespace std. BTW, what''s the advantage of using this STD crap?

It helps prevents naming collisions between any functions/objects/whatever that you make and the ones included in the standard library.
