chipp:
You u mean that when programming a win32api application, you shouldnt include iostream ?
Grey Wolf:
My question is very general, not specific to the test.
The interviewer sent me this test, which involves Oracle+win32api programming (im not familiar with both...), and if i've asked only this silly question, i really think it is ok...
not really, but i guess that windows.h is the most common library you'll use in win32 API. although, feels like i've seen a code using iostream (i don't really sure for what purpose, though i'm a newbie here :) )
Obviously, you cannot use cout and cin with Win32 API based programs, but you can use things like fstream and sstream, which require iostream to be included.
