|
| /*unspecified*/ setprecision( int n ); |
|
When used in an expression out << setprecision(n) or in >> setprecision(n), sets the precision parameter of the stream out or in to exactly n.
Contents |
[edit] Parameters
| n | - | new value for precision |
[edit] Return value
An object of unspecified type such that
- if out is an object of type std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>, the expression out << setprecision(n)
- has type std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>&
- has value out
- behaves as if it called f(out, n)
- if in is an object of type std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>, the expression in >> setprecision(n)
- has type std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>&
- has value in
- behaves as if it called f(in, n)
where the function f is defined as:
void f(std::ios_base& str, int n) { / set precision str.precision(n); }
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <limits> #include <numbers> int main() { constexpr long double pi{std::numbers::pi_v<long double>}; const auto default_precision{std::cout.precision()}; constexpr auto max_precision{std::numeric_limits<long double>::digits10 + 1}; std::cout << "default precision: " << default_precision << '\n' << "maximum precision: " << max_precision << "\n\n" "precision: pi:\n"; for (int p{0}; p <= max_precision; ++p) std::cout << std::setw(2) << p << " " << std::setprecision(p) << pi << '\n'; std::cout << std::setprecision(default_precision); / restore defaults }
Output:
default precision: 6 maximum precision: 19 precision: pi: 0 3 1 3 2 3.1 3 3.14 4 3.142 5 3.1416 6 3.14159 7 3.141593 8 3.1415927 9 3.14159265 10 3.141592654 11 3.1415926536 12 3.14159265359 13 3.14159265359 14 3.1415926535898 15 3.14159265358979 16 3.141592653589793 17 3.1415926535897932 18 3.14159265358979324 19 3.141592653589793239
