EXTRACTION operator >> ignores the following
Tripura Public Service Commission - 2026,
Answer: C
The extraction operator ignores WHITESPACE.
In C++ the stream extraction operator >> skips leading whitespace (blanks, tabs and newlines) before reading a value, because the skipws flag is set by default. That is why cin >> a >> b reads two numbers typed on separate lines, and why it cannot read a string containing spaces.
Integers and floats are the data it reads, not skips. Comments are removed by the compiler from source code; they never appear in an input stream.
