Thread: Displaying zeros

Hi

I am fairly new to programming. Can anyone help me in getting it to display zeros to the left of a decimal point? For example, instead of displaying 5 show as 005?

Set the fill for cout to be whatever character you want. Then when you have a width longer than the length of the value, empty space will be repaced with that character.

Code:

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    double a = 5.0;
    int b = 5;

    cout.fill('0');
    cout << setw(3) << a << endl;
    cout << setw(3) << b << endl;

    return 0;
}
