Turn off scientific notation on float

Question

I\'m trying to display number in standard notation

for example:

float f = 1230000.76

turns out to be,

1.23e+006
         


        

Answer 1

Use -

cout.setf(ios::fixed, ios::floatfield);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);

before printing out the floating point numbers.

More information can be found here.

You can also set output precision with the following statement -

cout.precision(2);

or simply with -

printf("%.2f", myfloat);
