setprecision

34 New Member
Hi, I'm converting codes that I worked with in C to C++ and having a problem with setprecision. At first the code worked, then I made some changes. When the changes didn't work I wrote it back to how it was before and now it's not working. I keep getting the error message where setprecision is undefined. Can anyone help plz.

  1. #include <iostream>

  6. int getInput();

Okay, there we go, solved it. I used setprecision vs just cout.precision. Don't know why I used that. I noticed I spelt one of my function calls incorrectly. Wonder why there wasn't an error when compiling.

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 using the std::setprecision 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::stringstream buffer; buffer << setprecision(1) << 40.0 << "° C";

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 folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
