help!!!!!!

what does cout.setf(ios::skipus) do?........... it was specified in a book.....it didn't work in turbo c++ ..... please help if anyone know the answer..........

It might be a typographical error in the book, since I cannot find it in the C++ standard. A probable candidate is ios::skipws, which causes leading whitespace to be skipped, where applicable.

thank u . . mr. laser light . . . can u tell me how to use it with a simple program??

I do not think you need to use it by default; that flag should already have been set.

thank u....
