Aren't the words ostream and istream switched in the text below?

Question

I'm trying to understand I/O Streams in more detail, and for this, I'm reading the "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup, 4th edition. Right at the beginning of Chapter 38, page 1073, one finds the following two statements:

An ostream converts typed objects to a stream of characters (bytes).

An istream converts a stream of characters (bytes) to typed objects.

Aren't the words ostream and istream switched in the explanation given above?

Answer 1

Outputting is receiving some typed objects from the program (a char 'c', an int 123, a float 123.45) and encoding them into a sequence of bytes, sent somewhere (to a printer, to a file, to the console...).

Inputting is receiving a stream of bytes from somewhere ant extracting some typed data from it.

The images are correct.

Answer 2

No. ostream "outputs" from arbitrary types to character sequences, and istream "inputs" to arbitrary types from character sequences, just as described.
