Hello all,

Because now I'm converting my friends pascal programs to C++ to show him how much c++ is more powerful compared to pascal I found some difficulties. In pascal, if we have the number pi = 3.141592654 and he issues these statements:
That means that the limit for the number before the . is 1 and after the dot is 4. So it will display 3.1415 In C++ I can use this:
which will print 3.141 So I can only contol the length of the whole number, but I cannot define before the dot and after it. I'm sure that there's some way of doing it, but I cannot find it anywhere... Thanks in advance

Cheers,
gamehack

lookup cout.setf( ). There is a flag in there I believe you set which will cause cout.precision to count using decimal precision only.

So I looked in a book and found the answer. To define the precision right from the decimal you have to set
Then when you're specifying
It will use this only for the number right from the dot.

Don't know if that's what you want.

Nah... they're looking for a way to do it using cout. And they've found it, by the looks of things.
