    Set Precision & Underlining Text

    Okay I left my C++ book at school and I don't remeber the setprecision code. I just need it for two decimail places. I think its setprecision(2); however I remeber I need to include some other stuff before this.

    Also I forgot the command to under line text when outputing to a txt file. This I have no clue.

    Thanks a million, for your help in advance !

    I can help with the first question.
    Code:
    cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed) << setprecision(2);
    You've got me on the second question, though.

    A straight text file doesn't support underlining, you'll need a specific file format for that.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    don't forget...

    #include <iomanip> class
    // this helps you use the format manipulator setprecision(2)
    Good Luck!
