Floating point format for std::ostream

std::cout << std::fixed << std::setw(11) << std::setprecision(6) << my_double; You need to add #include <iomanip> You need stream manipulators You may “fill” the empty places with whatever char you want. Like this: std::cout << std::fixed << std::setw(11) << std::setprecision(6) << std::setfill(‘0’) << my_double;

C++ printing boolean, what is displayed?

The standard streams have a boolalpha flag that determines what gets displayed — when it’s false, they’ll display as 0 and 1. When it’s true, they’ll display as false and true. There’s also an std::boolalpha manipulator to set the flag, so this: #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> int main() { std::cout<<false<<“\n”; std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout<<false<<“\n”; return … Read more

C++ cout hex values?

Use: #include <iostream> … std::cout << std::hex << a; There are many other options to control the exact formatting of the output number, such as leading zeros and upper/lower case.

std::cout won’t print

Make sure you flush the stream. This is required because the output streams are buffered and you have no guarantee over when the buffer will be flushed unless you manually flush it yourself. std::cout << “Hello” << std::endl; std::endl will output a newline and flush the stream. Alternatively, std::flush will just do the flush. Flushing … Read more
