Lately, I was understanding what exactly buffering is. And I read that cout is buffered. So I got confused. What does it mean that cout is buffered? In general, what does it mean when someone says that something is buffered? And what does flushing the streams(cout/buffer) mean? Any example tagged with the answer would be appreciated :)

Here's a related post: Is std::cout buffered?

And here's an article that talks about it in more detail: https://www.programmingincpp.com/flush-the-output-stream-buffer.html
