using

[Eric Kaplan]

what's difference between using and include?

does using is use for standard library only?

############### ##########

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::left;
using std::right;

#include <iomanip>
using std::setw;

#include <iostreamis used for telling the compiler "Include iostream
header file in the compilation"

using std; //is used to tell the compiler "Use this namespace "std",
because I don't want to type std:: before every cout"

I think there is a typo there ,this should read

using namespace std;

you have to put namespace in a using directive.
