Subject: print and output

Bonjour,

Quand j'ecris (en Ocaml) le "programme" suivant :
print_string ">>"; read_int ();;
l'impression a lieu apres la lecture, ce qui me surprend, car il est dit
val read_int : unit -> int
Flush standart output then ...

Quand j'ecris le "programme" suivant :
output_string ">>"; read_int ();;
l'impression a lieu avant la lecture, ce qui est heureux.

Pourquoi cette diffence, car je pensais que :
print_string = output_string stdout

When I write (in OCAML) the following program :
print_string ">>"; read_int ();;
the reading takes place before the printing, what surprises me.

On the contrary, when I write :
output_string ">>"; read_int ();;
the printing takes place before the reading, what is better.

Why this difference, whereas I thought that :
print_string = output_string stdout
