An input stream is a character sequence device or buffer from which input can be gathered. The standard input stream is usually a keyboard, data file or the output stream from another program. The user of the program can normally decide where standard input may be redirected from when launching the program, typically defaulting to the keyboard.

What is the standard stream that you read input from?
The standard console input stream, std::cin.
What stream perform conversion on another stream?
input
What are the functions of lexical analyzer?
The lexical analyzer function, named after rule declarations, recognizes tokens from the input stream and returns them to the parser.
What are input output streams in c plus plus?
The term stream is a generic abstraction that says nothing about the implementation. However, if we use the analogy that gave it its name, a stream of water, we can better understand how a stream works. A water stream allows water to flow from one point to another in one direction only (downstream, with the flow of the current). If we were to throw a stick into the water, it would be carried downstream by the water where it could then be extracted. Sticks can be inserted or extracted automatically by devices, thus allowing information to pass between those devices.A file stream is a stream that is associated with a device representing a file. If the file is upstream then we can use the stream to extract information from the file. When we extract information from a stream, that stream is known as an input stream; it provides us with information. Conversely, if the file were downstream then we can use the stream to insert information into the file. When we insert information into a stream, that stream is known as an output stream; it carries information away from us.An input/output stream is one where we can both insert and extract information. An input/output file stream is a typical example: we can extract data from the file associated with the stream, process the data (modify it in some way), and then insert the modified data back into the same file. To implement an input/output stream, we simply use two streams associated with the same device: one specifically for input operations, the other specifically for output operations. This implementation detail is hidden from the user, so the stream appears to be a bi-directional stream as far as the user is concerned.
How to write a C plus plus Program to convert a string into an integer?
std::string input = ""; std::getline (std::cin, input); // get input from stdin std::stringstream ss (input); // place input in a string stream integer num = 0; if (ss >> num) // extract integer from string stream { // Success! } else { // Fail! }
