C++ iostreams facility has a number of advantages over C stdio. Note that the stdio (printf, scanf and friends) still exist. Generally, you will not want to use them in a new C++ program. They can be useful to avoid re-writing old programs when adding C++ code, or for using C-based libraries which do I/O.
