c++ print number not in scientific notation
To print a number in C++ without scientific notation, you can use the std::fixed
modifier along with std::cout
. Here are the steps to achieve this:
Include the necessary header file:
#include <iostream>
- This includes the standard input/output stream library, which provides thestd::cout
object for displaying output.Use the
std::cout
object to print the number:std::cout << std::fixed << number;
- Thestd::cout
object is used to display output, and thestd::fixed
modifier ensures that the number is printed without scientific notation.End the line:
std::cout << std::endl;
- This ends the line of output and moves the cursor to the next line.
Here's an example that demonstrates these steps:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
double number = 123456789.123456789;
std::cout << std::fixed << number << std::endl;
return 0;
}
This example declares a variable number
of type double
and assigns it a value. Using std::cout
, the value of number
is printed without scientific notation. The output will be 123456789.123457
.
Note that the std::fixed
modifier will affect all subsequent floating-point output until another modifier, such as std::scientific
, is used.
