puts impementation?

[Poke386]

Is it possible to implement something like puts/printf/cout/etc using only the keywords that C/C++ offer? ie, can you print something to the console without depending on any external libraries?

[Bazzy]

Notice that printf, cout etc are not part of 'external libraries', they are part of the standard library which is part of C++.
To print stuff just with a programming language you should use assembly or try the C++ keyword for assembly code:

asm ( "Some assembly code here ( the language depends on the compiler ) "  );

It's basically what Bazzy said.

The problem is that I/O is system dependent, and it's not defined by the language.

Are you deploying on a small system where you won't have a standard library?

No, I was simply curious. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up guys.
