set precision with fixed c++
To set precision with fixed in C++, you can use the std::fixed
manipulator along with the std::setprecision
function. Here are the steps to do it:
First, include the necessary header file for input/output operations:
cpp #include <iostream> #include <iomanip>
Inside your code, use the
std::fixed
manipulator to set the floating-point output format to fixed-point notation:cpp std::cout << std::fixed;
Use the
std::setprecision
function to specify the number of digits to be displayed after the decimal point:cpp std::cout << std::setprecision(2);
In this example, 2
is used as the argument to std::setprecision
to display the number with two digits after the decimal point. You can replace 2
with any desired value.
- Finally, output the floating-point number using
std::cout
:cpp double number = 3.14159; std::cout << number;
The output will be 3.14
, with two digits after the decimal point.
By combining the std::fixed
manipulator and the std::setprecision
function, you can control the precision of the floating-point output in C++.
