Standard Output (stdout) is a stream where a program writes its output data, typically displayed on the screen or terminal. It is one of the standard streams in computing, facilitating the communication of program results to the user or other processes.

Standard output is a stream where a program writes its output data, typically directed to the screen or a file. It is one of the three standard streams in computing, alongside standard input and standard error, and can be redirected to different destinations as needed.

Displayed on the screen

A terminal is a device or interface used to interact with a computer system, often serving as a point for input and output operations. It can be a physical device or a software application that emulates the command line interface, allowing users to execute commands and manage system resources efficiently.

Terminal

Standard streams are predefined input, output, and error channels used in programming to facilitate communication between a program and its environment. They enable efficient data handling and error management by providing a consistent interface for reading from input devices and writing to output devices.
