3: Iostream (std::cout << x) is better than printf

I don't think you realize what the difference between iostream and printf is. printf is for the insertion of variables into a line of text, there is no "better" or "worse." In this scenario, printf would be an improper invocation because there is no variable to insert. cout is not inherently better because it doesn't perform the extra steps of variable insertion, it's actually quite inferior if you're going to be attempting this.

"sorry, I had to!"

1: There's no semicolon on line 5
2: You should not return 42 for main(), a common practice is to return 1
3: Iostream (std::cout << x) is better than printf

2: Why would you return 1 if everything went fine? Return 0.
3: How so? Who says that it's C++ instead of C anyway? Looks like C to me.

why

[Blockzillahead]

why

because its easier to use
referring to cout

[Port]

because its easier to use
referring to cout

I can't see how the strangest stream syntax I've ever seen in a programming language is easier to use than a function.

it automatically knows what youre printing
with printf you have to define if its a float, string or integer ect

+ i think its easier to overload it
