Stroustrup section 5.5 "vector of struct"

this is the code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

struct Pair {
std::string name;
double val;
};

std::vector<Pai rpairs;

double& value(const std::string s) {
for(int i=0; i < pairs.size(); i++)
if(s == pairs[i].name) return pairs[i].val;

Pair p = {s, -1.1};
pairs.push_back (p); // pair added at the end

return pairs[pairs.size() - 1].val;
}
int main() {

Pair p0 = {"p0", 0.0};
Pair p1 = {"p1", 1.0};
Pair p2 = {"p2", 2.0};

// add to "pairs"
pairs.push_back (p0);
pairs.push_back (p1);
pairs.push_back (p2);

const std::string s1;
std::cout << "now we will check \"pairs\": ";
std::cin >s1;

value(s1);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

basically it is a "vector" of "Pair" to which i added 3 "Pair values".
then i called "value" function which returns a reference to "val"
related to "string" & if "string" is not found in "pairs" then it
simply creates a new "Pair" & adds it to the end of "pairs" .
compilation gave me this error (using "g++ 4.1.1" on BLAG Linux. ):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

becuase i get plain 2 ( not 2.0 )
The presentation does not tell you anything about the type.

Also, in the case of floating point it only tells you the value
/approximately/, because the internal representation of a floating point
number is finite, and thus cannot represent all numbers exactly.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

these signatures taught me how irritating a top-post is. i never did
that since i read your signatures some months ago. thanks for putting
them.

BTW, how can i put my signatures in my post so that they appear
everytime automatically. i googled for it, i have signatures in my
gmail but i am not able to know how to do the same at newsgroups.

you have used what "Amit" told to me: / cout.precision( n) / with your
mysterious / cout.setf( std::ios_base:: fixed ); /
Doc: "The GNU C++ Iostream Library"
"Choices in formatting"
"Changing stream properties using manipulators"

'setf()' is Set Flags.

Google Groups does not have that capability, along with many other
features of a real newsreading system. A possible remedy is to get
access to a genuine newsfeed, and then use the newsreader (there are
many available) that has the features you desire.

Your ISP may provide access to a news server. If not, an inexpensive
alternative is http://news.individual.net (the German server), which
costs 10 euro per year (about $13 US currently) for access to text
newsgroups.

There are some free ones. Generally their reliability and retention
aren't as good as NIN, but they are worth looking into if you don't
want to pay.
