How to make C++ cout not use scientific notation
C++DoubleCoutOstreamScientific NotationC++ Problem Overview
double x = 1500;
for(int k = 0; k<10 ; k++){
double t = 0;
for(int i=0; i<12; i++){
t += x * 0.0675;
x += x * 0.0675;
}
cout<<"Bas ana: "<<x<<"\tSon faiz: "<<t<<"\tSon ana: "<<x+t<<endl;
}
this the output

I want numbers to be shown with exact numbers not scientific numbers. How can I do this?
C++ Solutions
Solution 1 - C++
Use std::fixed
stream manipulator:
cout<<fixed<<"Bas ana: "<<x<<"\tSon faiz: "<<t<<"\tSon ana: "<<x+t<<endl;
Solution 2 - C++
As mentioned above, you can use std::fixed
to solve your problem, like this:
cout << fixed;
cout << "Bas ana: " << x << "\tSon faiz: " << t << "\tSon ana: " << x+t <<endl;
However, after you've done this, every time you print a float
or a double
anywhere in your project, the number will still be printed in this fixed notation. You could turn it back by using
cout << scientific;
but this might become tedious if your code gets more complicated.
This is why Boost made the I/O Stream State Saver, which automatically returns the I/O stream you're using to the state it was before your function call. You can use it like this:
#include <boost/io/ios_state.hpp> // you need to download these headers first
{
boost::io::ios_flags_saver ifs( os );
cout << ios::fixed;
cout<<"Bas ana: "<<x<<"\tSon faiz: "<<t<<"\tSon ana: "<<x+t<<endl;
} // at this bracket, when ifs goes "out of scope", your stream is reset
You can find more info about Boost's I/O Stream State Saver in the official docs.
You may also want to check out the Boost Format library which can also make your outputting easier, especially if you have to deal with internationalisation. However, it won't help you for this particular problem.
Solution 3 - C++
code the next syntax:
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(n);
where (n)
is the number of decimal precision.
This should fix it.
P.s.: you need to #include <iomanip>
in order to use std::setprecision
.
Solution 4 - C++
In C++20 you'll be able to use std::format
to do this:
std::cout << std::format("Bas ana: {:f}\tSon faiz: {:f}\t"
"Son ana: {:f}\n", x, t, x + t);
Output:
Bas ana: 3284.776791 Son faiz: 1784.776791 Son ana: 5069.553581
Bas ana: 7193.172376 Son faiz: 3908.395585 Son ana: 11101.567961
...
The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't change the stream state.
In the meantime you can use the {fmt} library, std::format
is based on. {fmt} also provides the print
function that makes this even easier and more efficient (godbolt):
fmt::print("Bas ana: {:f}\tSon faiz: {:f}\tSon ana: {:f}\n", x, t, x + t);
Disclaimer: I'm the author of {fmt} and C++20 std::format
.
Solution 5 - C++
You can use format flags
More info: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/ios_base/fmtflags/
Solution 6 - C++
There are a whole collection of formatting operators that you get with iostream. Here's a tutorial to get you started.
Solution 7 - C++
You can use the function fixed in this way :
> std::cout << std::fixed << ...
Or you can use the the printf function with a standard format like "12.12%f" in this way :
> printf ("number = %12.12f", float_number);
Solution 8 - C++
You can also use printf
in c++ to print in the value without scientific notation.
As You can also usecin
and cout
instead of scanf
and printf
, however, if you are taking a million numbers as input and printing a million lines, it is faster to use scanf
and printf
.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main () {
double a = pow(2,99);
printf ("%lf\n",a);
return 0;
}
