Why does it read my '1,5' as a '1' ?

float a;
cin >> a; cin.ignore();

When I do the stepover, and add a watch for my 'a', somethings mysterious happens:

I punch in 1,5
But in the watchlist it says: a=1

I've tried with double and int too, but nothing works!

Someone knows what I'm missing here?

Regardless of how things work in Euro, in C++ decimal points are periods.

Commas are kind of separators not decimal points as zx-1 already said.

Or you could read up on locale

And set say LC_NUMERIC to something appropriate for you.
