# std::showpoint, std::noshowpoint

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | manip

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

Enables or disables the unconditional inclusion of the decimal point character in floating-point output. Has no effect on input.

1) enables the `showpoint` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::showpoint)
2) disables the `showpoint` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.unsetf(std::ios_base::showpoint)

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

The character to use as decimal point character is determined by the numpunct facet of the locale imbued in the stream at the time of output, as described in std::num_put::put

### [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 << "1.0 with showpoint: " << std::showpoint << 1.0 << '\n'
                  << "1.0 with noshowpoint: " << std::noshowpoint << 1.0 << '\n';
    }

Output:

    1.0 with showpoint: 1.00000
    1.0 with noshowpoint: 1
