Do people actually still use cin and cout?
<p>This is totally an opinion question.  More for chatter. 
I'm taking some c++ tests and they are littered with cin and cout's.<br />
Do people acutally still use these.  I mean I've not seen one in an actual public application ever.  </p>

<p>The last question I answered in a test was</p>

<pre><code>int c1;
cout &lt;&lt; "Enter numbers: " &lt;&lt; flush;
for(int n = 0; cin &gt;&gt; c1; ++n){
   cout &lt;&lt; c1 &lt;&lt; endl;
}
When does this end..
</code></pre>

<p>The correct answer was "when a user hits ctrl+Z".   Where in the heck would I press control+Z? I'm assuming in the terminal, I suppose.  But honestly.  I've not seen the terminal for ages and ages.  And I'm sure as heck not going to attempt to program anything for it. </p>

<p>Are questions like this still relevant, in any of our lives?</p>
