atof() precision issue

[Mrzev]

string line2 = "-89.75131467880756";
cout<<line2<<" <> ";
xcord = atof(line2.c_str());
cout<<xcord<<endl;


output -
-89.75131467880756 <> -89.7513


Question is ... how do i get it to desplay more precision.

This should do it:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main (void)
{
	double xcord;
	string line2 = "-89.75131467880756";
	cout<<line2<<" <> ";
	xcord = atof(line2.c_str());
	cout<<setprecision(16) << xcord<<endl;
	return 0;
}
