I see people using this snippet extensively for achieving fast i/o in competitive programming
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
cin.tie(NULL);
Though i understand what it does mostly from here:
Significance of ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(NULL);
I want to know why this statement is not included
cout.tie(NULL);
ie" What difference does this make to the program or does this achieve the same objective as that of
cin.tie(NULL);
Also is it necessary to use NULL or false instead of 0 and 1.
cout
is tied to cin
, not the other way around.
cout
being tied to cin
means cout
is flushed automatically when reading from cin
.
cout.tie(nullptr);
would be pointless, as cout.tie()
is already nullptr
.
NULL
is an equivalent of 0
. The C++ type-safe way to express a null pointer is nullptr
.
As you can see in this example and in the docs , std::cin
and std::cerr
are both tied to std::cout
by default, but the relationship is one-way. There is no need to call cout.tie(NULL)
because the tied stream is already nullptr
. The statement would have no effect.
You would not be able to use an argument of 1
; tie
takes a pointer to a std::ostream
. 0
/ NULL
/ false
all work to untie the streams due to implicit conversions, but to tie two streams together, you would need something like std::cout.tie(&std::cerr)
.
