set precision in c++ no decimal places\
To set precision in C++ and specify the number of decimal places, you can make use of the std::setprecision
function from the <iomanip>
library. The steps to achieve this are as follows:
- Include the
<iomanip>
library at the beginning of your program. - Use the
std::setprecision
function, followed by the desired number of decimal places, to set the precision for floating-point numbers. - Use the
std::fixed
function to ensure that the precision is applied to the decimal part of the number. - Call the
std::cout
orstd::ofstream
object to display or write the values with the desired precision.
Here's an example that demonstrates how to set precision in C++ and display a floating-point number with two decimal places:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
int main() {
double number = 3.14159;
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2) << number << std::endl;
return 0;
}
In this example, the std::fixed
manipulator ensures that the precision is applied to the decimal part of the number. The std::setprecision(2)
sets the precision to two decimal places. The output will be 3.14
.
You can adjust the precision value as per your requirements.
