What is the primary purpose of the `cout` statement in C++?

To assign values to variables
To perform mathematical operations
To output data to the console
To read input from the user

The correct answer is: To output data to the console

The `cout` statement in C++ is primarily used for outputting data to the console. Option A is incorrect because the `cout` statement does not assign values to variables, it simply displays them. Option B is incorrect because mathematical operations are performed using operators, not the `cout` statement. Option D is incorrect because the `cin` statement is typically used for reading input from the user, not `cout`.
