the ofstream class is a stream
the insertion operator works with all classes
we are actually outputting to cout
the insertion operator is overloaded in ofstream
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: D. the insertion operator is overloaded in ofstream.
The insertion operator << is overloaded in the ofstream class to allow it to be used to output text to an object of that class. This is done by defining a member function called operator<<() that takes a string as its argument and outputs the string to the file stream.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The ofstream class is a stream, but this is not the reason why we can output text to an object of that class using the insertion operator <<.
- The insertion operator works with all classes, but this is not the reason why we can output text to an object of the ofstream class using the insertion operator <<.
- We are not actually outputting to cout when we output text to an object of the ofstream class using the insertion operator <<.
