Output formatting

[80Degrees]

Beginner question, how would I format output's to limit decimal places to 2 (0.00), and add 0's when neccisary (1 to 1.00, 1.2 to 1.20) ?

Like this?

float f = 100.3f;
printf("%.2f", f);

- petter

no i don't think so... the variables i want formatted aren't predefined, they are calculated by the application.

The answer is still valid,

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

Puts your floating point number into the output buffer as a string of the number to two decimal places.

Hm, thanks for the help, but couldn't I just use the setprecision manipulator?
like for dollar ammounts i'd have to used fixed along with setprecision in such a manner

double dollar = 342.3287
cout << setprecision(2) << fixed << dollar << endl;

resulting in 342.32 being displayed

but thanks, both methods work great!
