Specifying integer precision with Stream I/O

'printf' allows an integer to be printed with a precision.
"printf("|%5.2d |", 1)", for example, produces "| 01|".

This doesn't seem to be possible with stream I/O - 'precision' only
seems to be relevant to floating-point numbers. Can anyone tell me if
I can do the above with stream I/O?

I've attached a simple test program; the output is

| 01|
| 1|
|00001|

Thanks -

John

----------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
int main(void) {
int a = 1;

printf("|%5.2d| \n", a);
std::cout
<< '|' << std::setw(5) << std::setprecisi on(2) << a
<< '|' << std::endl;
std::cout
<< '|' << std::setw(5) << std::setprecisi on(2)
<< std::setfill('0 ') << a << '|' << std::endl;
}

Hi, I would like to save a stream's output precision and then change the precision and then restore it. One example I found was using ios_base::fixed, and ios_base::floatfield. But on my machine this only gives 6 or 8 digits after the decimal. I would like at least 12. If I do cout.precision(12), then cout is forever set to 12 precisions from that point on. I guess I can call cout.precision(4) when I'm done, but how do I know that 4...

For your enjoyment, a function that expresses any integer with absolute value less-than-or-equal-to nine quintillion in any base from 2 to 36.

Hi all, I had a question about the topics in the subject and posted to comp.std.c, but feel it may also be appropriate here. Please excuse this crosspost if it is in bad form.

The sections in the C99 standard (and possibly older standards) that I will reference are as follows (typed out hopefully to avoid...

Hi all! The following piece of code has (for me) completely unexpected behaviour. (I compile it with gcc-Version 4.0.3) Something goes wrong with the integer to float conversion. Maybe somebody out there understands what happens. Essentially, when I subtract the (double) function value GRID_POINT(2) from a variable which has been assigned the same value before this gives a non-zero result and I really do not understand why.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
