Thread: formatting question..

if you have an int, say 34 and you want it to print out .000034 (withouit it saying 3.4e-6). What do you do?

Also, is there a way to print 000034 without the decimal?


thanks for your time people

for a standard amount of 0s

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
 int x = 34;
 cout<<".0000"<<x;
 getchar();
 return 0;
}

for a non- standard, use a int and a loop.

Thanks for your help guys.

To clarify, I mean't with leading zeros without the dot. (000034).

you can use ostream manipulators and flags like setw() and fill() to create 00034 from 34. They should be explained in your C++ text or in you compilers help section.
