std

;
}
this is the function update from class(game) from SFML GAME DEVELOPMENT
I just added cout and then the game become tooooo slow 1 frame/second
I am in chapter three in the book and I have followed the instructions very well
before adding this cout and in this particular place every thing was good

I know it is not serving any target but I just want to know why this happened

That's because std::cout is slow (but it shouldn't be that slow however).

std::cout
is generally slow on Windows, even if you're not flushing content every line. How significant is the impact on your framerate? Note that dropping from 5,000 fps to 2,500 fps (or anything similar) is essentially "nothing".

I am just asking the question because its a very strange thing that the frame rate drop to even less than
1 frame per second;
but if this is normal then I will just remove std::cout and complete the project with no problems at all

Having performance issues? Use a profiler to figure out why.
