std::setprecisi on and scientific format

I am using the std::setprecisi on function to format variables of type
double in a string however I am unsure how to stop this appearing in
scientific notation.

For example

std::stringstre am buffer;

buffer << setprecision(1) << 40.0 << "° C";

produces the string

04e+01° C

in buffer.

Ideally I would like this to be

40° C

but I think I will have to settle for 40.0° C if I want to cater for
other values where the single decimal place is required.

How do I use setprecision an not get scientific notation as the output?

Thanks in advance

In article <MP************ ************@ne ws.westnet.com. au>, mirror@
127.0.0.1 says...

Sorry the line
04e+01° C


should read

4e+01° C

there is no leading 0

Use the manipulator "fixed" to get rid of scientific notation..
See John Bell's example for your previous post...
buffer << fixed << setprecision(3) << 40.0 << " C";


Thanks in advance

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;

I am starting to use templates and have managed to figure out how to use std::string, std::map and make_pair successfully so far (Yeah I know - not much of a big step but I'm getting there) Previously I was using something like: char *buffer; double value = 10.5; sprintf(buffer, "text %.2f text", value);

hi, is it possible - or better: why hasn't it been in the std - to add this function: ofstream os("xy"); int my_int = 0; double my_double =123.12; os << std::format("8.3f", my_double) << std::format(".5d", my_int);

I'm having some cases where setprecision in combination with iostreams gives some unepected behavior. Consider the following program: #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv) { float value = 0.063397526741027832;

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) digits?

Hello group, I've a simple problem with the precision specifiers of stringstream. Let's say I have this: double x = 123.4567890; std::stringstream Strm; Strm.precision(4); Strm << std::scientific << x; std::cerr << Strm.str() << std::endl;
