To do: Using setw(), setiosflags(), resetiosflags() manipulators in C++ programming

To show: How to format the C++ standard output using setw(), setiosflags(), resetiosflags() manipulators

// using setw(), setiosflags(), resetiosflags() manipulators and setf and unsetf member functions

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

void main(void)

{

long p = 123456789L;

// L - literal data type qualifier for long

// F - float, UL unsigned long integer

cout<<"The default for 10 fields is right justified:\n"

<<setw(10)<<p

<<"\n\nUsing member function\n"

<<"---------------------\n"

<<"\nUsing setf() to set ios::left:\n"<<setw(10);

cout.setf(ios::left,ios::adjustfield);

cout<<p<<"\nUsing unsetf() to restore the default:\n";

cout.unsetf(ios::left);

cout<<setw(10)<<p

<<"\n\nUsing parameterized stream manipulators\n"

<<"---------------------------------------\n"

<<"\nUse setiosflags() to set the ios::left:\n"

<<setw(10)<<setiosflags(ios::left)<<p

<<"\nUsing resetiosflags() to restore the default:\n"

<<setw(10)<<resetiosflags(ios::left)

<<p<<endl;

return;

}

Output example:

The default for 10 fields is right justified:

123456789

Using member function

---------------------

Using setf() to set ios::left:

123456789

Using unsetf() to restore the default:

123456789

Using parameterized stream manipulators

---------------------------------------

Use setiosflags() to set the ios::left:

123456789

Using resetiosflags() to restore the default:

123456789
