USACO Input

Problems and Contests
#1

Hello I am new to USACO and now I have heard that USACO will be using standard input and output. Would that signify that we use input/output methods like cin >> and cout << in c++, or Scanner class in Java. So should I be practicing in Scanner class for Java or if using c++ use cin and cout? What was the old method such as printing to file? Thank you very much, your help is greatly appreciated

The old method was file IO, yes.
In Java, BufferedReader is still recommended due to being much faster than Scanner.
