# std::uppercase, std::nouppercase

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | manip

Defined in header `<ios>` |  |
std::ios_base& uppercase( std::ios_base& str ); | (1) |
std::ios_base& nouppercase( std::ios_base& str ); | (2) |

Enables the use of uppercase characters in floating-point and hexadecimal integer output. Has no effect on input.

1) enables the `uppercase` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::uppercase)

2) disables the `uppercase` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.unsetf(std::ios_base::uppercase)

This is an I/O manipulator, it may be called with an expression such as out << std::uppercase for any `out` of type std::basic_ostream or with an expression such as in >> std::uppercase for any `in` of type std::basic_istream.

### [edit] Parameters

str | - | reference to I/O stream

### [edit] Return value

`str` (reference to the stream after manipulation)

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase
                  << "0x2a with uppercase: " << std::uppercase << 0x2a << '\n'
                  << "0x2a with nouppercase: " << std::nouppercase << 0x2a << '\n'
                  << "1e-10 with uppercase: " << std::uppercase << 1e-10 << '\n'
                  << "1e-10 with nouppercase: " << std::nouppercase << 1e-10 << '\n';
    }

Output:

    0x2a with uppercase: 0X2A
    0x2a with nouppercase: 0x2a
    1e-10 with uppercase: 1E-10
    1e-10 with nouppercase: 1e-10
