cout << setiosflags(256L) << 123.123;

Hello,

when i try to compile this i always get this:

a.cpp: In function `int main()':
a.cpp:52: invalid conversion from `long int' to `std::_Ios_Fmtflags

What's wrong with ' cout << setiosflags(256L) << 123.123; '?

pls help

thanks

Hi

gcc (g++) 3.x
I always get an information message because of some old headers, i shouldn't use anymore.
Could this be the reason?

Why did you write #include <iostream> and not #include <iostream.h> ?

thx

Hi!

@vVv: Yes, it works!

But could you please explain in some words, what ``using namespace std;'' does mean?

thanks
