    how to print fraction inc++

    like in c we can print a fraction like
    #include<stdio.h>
    void main()
    {
    float f=21.3456;
    int i=2;
    printf("%*f",i,f);
    }
    which will print 21.34
    how can we do the same with cout<<

    Code:
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        float fValue = 21.3456;
    
        cout << setiosflags( ios::fixed) << setprecision(2) << fValue << endl;
    
        return 0;
    }
    Or, if you don't want to include the <iomanip> header, you can do this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        float fValue = 21.3456;
    
        cout.setf( ios::fixed );
        cout.precision( 2 );
        cout << fValue << endl;
    
        return 0;
    }
