Examples

The following examples "Hello, world!" show how to change the color of the text in three different ways.

Using xtd::console::write_line

src/console_hello_world_console.cpp

#include <xtd/xtd.console>

using namespace xtd;

// The main entry point for the application.
int main() {
  console::foreground_color(console_color::blue);
  console::write_line("Hello, World!");
  console::reset_color();
}

Using xtd::console::out character ostream

src/console_hello_world_console_out.cpp

#include <xtd/xtd.console>

using namespace std;
using namespace xtd;

// The main entry point for the application.
int main() {
  console::out << foreground_color(console_color::blue) << "Hello, World!" << reset_color() << endl;
}

Using std::cout character ostream

src/console_hello_world_cout.cpp

#include <xtd/xtd.console>

using namespace std;
using namespace xtd;

// The main entry point for the application.
int main() {
  cout << foreground_color(console_color::blue) << "Hello, World!" << reset_color() << endl;
}

Replace console class by wconsole class to use wide character wostream and wistream.
