the most basic question ever

[xant]

hi there,

yep, you better believe it, there are people out there with questions like this:

I'm trying to print out a function that returns a number of the type double:

cout << d1->getDrainNumber();

now, the problem is that the output is:

3.4556e+006

which is correct, but is there a way to get it like this:

3455600 ?

please help me

thank you

It looks like your formatting is incorrect. That looks to be scientific notation, take it out of scientific notation and then output the value as you want..very wierd output, and if that isn't scientific notation then I really have no clue how your getting that value..

He knows that the formatting is incorrect. That's what the whole question is dealing with. He wants to know how to get it to print without using scientific notation.

use

cout.setf(ios::fixed);

to go from scientific to fixed notation and

cout.precision(n);

where n is an integer to set the number of places after the decimal.
