setprecision in output

hi

the code below is giving me what I want but it is very ugly. and will
not work for a long list of different length numbers.
could you please look at it and comment.

thank you

the desired output is:
0.555504 of an inch foreach 12.55
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <iomanip>
using std::setw;
using std::left;
using std::setprecisi on;
#include <cmath>
using std::log10;

int main(){
double a = 0.5555040000;
double b = 12.5500;
int aa = 1000000;
int bb = 10000;
int za = static_cast<int (log10(aa));
int zb = static_cast<int (log10(bb));
cout << setw(10) << setprecision(za ) << left << a << "of an inch foreach "
<< setw(10) << setprecision(zb ) << b << endl;
}

int zb = static_cast<int (log10(bb));
cout << setw(10) << setprecision(za ) << left << a << "of an inch foreach "
<< setw(10) << setprecision(zb ) << b << endl;
}
in addition,
given double x = 2, I need to add x to a and b such
0.555504 + .0000002 = 0.555506
12.55 + .02 = 12.57
so that the output of the cout would be
0.555506 of an inch foreach 12.57

I'm trying to create a function that will turn a float into a std::string that always shows the number to two decimal places. I have the following but it doesn't give the desired output: inline std::string ftos(float f) { std::ostringstream buffer; buffer << std::setprecision(2) << f;

Hi, I setprecision to be 100 for both cases. I'm wondering why the number of digits are different. Also, for a double number, I think any digits that are longer than 15 (or 16) are not meaningful, because it exceed the double number's precision limit. Even if I setprecision to be 100, shall it truncate the number to be of 15(or 16)...
