C++ Program to Print Your Own Name

Printing your own name means displaying a text string containing your name on the output screen.

• Uses the cout object to display text on the screen.
• Demonstrates basic output operations in C++.

Examples

Input: name = "Anmol"
Output: Anmol
Explanation: Given name is printed on the output screen.

Input: name = "Alex"
Output: Alex
Explanation: Given name is printed on the output screen.

Print Your Own Name Using cout

The simplest way to print something is to use the cout. It is the standard method to output any data in C++.

Syntax

cout <<"your_name";

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  
  	// Printing the name using cout object
  	cout << "Anmol";
    return 0;
}

Anmol

Explanation: The string containing the name is passed to cout using the insertion operator (<<), which displays it on the output screen.

Other Ways to Print Your Name

Apart from cout object there are also the various methods by which we can print your own name.

Using printf() Function

C++ supports the printf() function from the C language which can be used to print name on the output screen. It is defined inside the <cstdio> header file.

Syntax

printf("your_name");

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  
  	// Printing the name using printf() method
    printf("Anmol");
    return 0;
}
  

Anmol

Explanation: The string passed to printf() is displayed directly on the output screen.

Using puts()

The puts() function prints a string followed by a newline character. It is also defined in the <cstdio> header file.

Syntax

puts("your_name")

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    // Printing the name using puts function
    puts("Anmol");
    return 0;
}

Anmol

Explanation: The string is printed on the screen, and the cursor automatically moves to the next line.

Using wcout

The wcout object is used to display wide characters and wide strings. It is useful when working with Unicode or multilingual text.

Syntax

wcout << L"your_name";

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    // Printing the string using wcout object
    wcout << L"Anmol";

    return 0;
}

Anmol

Explanation: The L prefix creates a wide string literal, which is displayed using wcout.

By Taking Name as Input

Instead of hardcoding the name, we can read it from the user and then display it on the screen.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  
  	// Variable to store the name
    string str;

    // Taking the name string as input using
  	// cin object
    cin >> str;

    // Print the name string using cout object
    cout << str;
    return 0;
}

Input

Anmol

Output

Anmol

Explanation: The name is stored in a string variable using  cin and then printed using cout. This allows the program to display any name entered by the user.
