Hello @upendra1234,
As a general consensus around here, it is clear that cin/cout are way slower than scanf/printf…
Before searching for it, I thought it was because cin/cout are more high-level functions that scanf/printf, as they are convenientely wrapped around an interface which makes them easier to use than scanf/printf…
However, it seems that it is a bit implementation dependent, and you can read a discussion on this subject, here. The last post contains a link to another discussion on this matter!!
Best regards,
Bruno
