# [[CPP Output Numbers]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
`cout <<` accepts a raw MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION directly (`cout << 3 + 3;`), not just a pre-computed variable or literal — meaning `<<`'s right-hand side is evaluated as a genuine expression before printing, unlike a naive assumption that only simple values can follow the insertion operator. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **No quotes for numbers** — unlike text, numeric values are NOT wrapped in double quotes when printed with `cout`. [S1]
- **Inline expression evaluation** — `cout << 3 + 3;` computes the sum THEN prints the result (6), not the literal text "3 + 3". [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Printing a bare number: `cout << 3;`. [S1]
- Printing the result of addition: `cout << 3 + 3; // 6`. [S1]
- Printing the result of multiplication: `cout << 2 * 5; // 10`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
- 현재까지 발견된 모순 사항 없음 (No contradictions found in available sources).

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — cout에 수식을 직접 넣어 계산 결과를 출력하는 패턴이 이후 산술 연산자(Operators Arithmetic) 챕터의 기초가 된다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Printing the result of an inline arithmetic expression (C++):
```cpp
cout << 3 + 3; // Outputs 6, not "3 + 3"
```
