I am needing to output dollar amounts to the screen. I tried using float and double but they only print numbers that are greater than 0. I use a function to do a calculation and when I return the calculated value it only prints non-zero numbers. For example, when the calculation is done and to total amount should be $3.50 it only prints 3.5 How do I get it to print 3.50?
Knowledge is power and I want it all

Code:#include <iomanip> // stream manipulators for formatted output #include <iostream> int main(void) { double dollars = 3.5; cout << "$" << std::setprecision(2) << dollars <<"\n"; return 0; }
You should use fixed as well
KurtCode:std::cout << "$" << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2) << dollars <<"\n";
