None of them are in any g++... g++ is just a gcc extention for
compiling C++ code as opposed to C...

The difference is that your older code is calling a deprecated C
library (iostream.h) while the newer ISO standardized C++ uses newer
headers (iostream).

Here's a bit of an explanation of the difference:
