Defined in header <ios>
std::ios_base& showpos( std::ios_base& str );	(1)
std::ios_base& noshowpos( std::ios_base& str );	(2)

Enables or disables the display of the plus sign '+' in non-negative integer output. Has no effect on input.

1) Enables the showpos flag in the stream str as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::showpos).

2) Disables the showpos flag in the stream str as if by calling str.unsetf(std::ios_base::showpos).

This is an I/O manipulator, it may be called with an expression such as out << std::showpos for any out of type std::basic_ostream or with an expression such as in >> std::showpos for any in of type std::basic_istream.

Parameters

str

-

reference to I/O stream

Return value

str (reference to the stream after manipulation).

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout
        << "showpos: " << std::showpos << 42 << ' ' << 3.14 << ' ' << 0 << '\n'
        << "noshowpos: " << std::noshowpos << 42 << ' ' << 3.14 << ' ' << 0 << '\n';
}

Output:

showpos: +42 +3.14 +0
noshowpos: 42 3.14 0
