How to format a long double number in C++ to display as many digits as possible.

Hi guys.
I am studying C++.
And I have wrote a program which calculate with long double number.
My goal is not to dis play the point in the number.
I mean: dislay

Code:

199999

not

Code:

2.00e+3

.
How can I do so with C++.

Use a fixed point style and set the precision to 0:

Code:

#include <cstdio>

#include <iostream>



using namespace std;



int main( int argc, char **argv )

{

    double d = 1234.56789012345678901234567890;

    cout << "Double (raw) = " << d << endl;  // Defaults to 6 significant digits.

    cout.setf( ios_base::fixed, ios_base::floatfield );

    cout.precision( 0 );

    cout << "Double (adj) = " << d << endl;



    return 0;

}

Results:

Code:

Double (raw) = 1234.57

Double (adj) = 1235

Please explain the code for me, I am new to C++

The code modifies the output stream directly for the subsequent write by changing the values of base_ios. If you want the change to remain persistent, you need to use manipulators. The concept is well documented in many books including Stroustrups. But for one good online resource look at:
