Restore the state of std::cout after manipulating it

by

you need to #include <iostream> or #include <ios> then when required:

std::ios_base::fmtflags f( cout.flags() );

//Your code here...

cout.flags( f );

You can put these at the beginning and end of your function, or check out this answer on how to use this with RAII.
