# std::numpunct_byname

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | locale

Defined in header `<locale>` |  |
template< class CharT > class numpunct_byname : public std::numpunct<CharT>; |  |

std::numpunct_byname is a std::numpunct facet which encapsulates numeric punctuation preferences of a locale specified at its construction.

Two specializations are provided by the standard library

Defined in header `<locale>`
std::numpunct_byname<char> | locale-specific std::numpunct facet for narrow character I/O
std::numpunct_byname<wchar_t> | locale-specific std::numpunct facet for wide characters I/O

### [edit] Member types

Member type | Definition
`char_type` | `CharT`
`string_type` | std::basic_string<CharT>

### [edit] Member functions

(constructor) | constructs a new `numpunct_byname` facet (public member function) [edit]
(destructor) | destroys a `numpunct_byname` facet (protected member function) [edit]

[edit]

## std::numpunct_byname::numpunct_byname

explicit numpunct_byname( const char* name, std::size_t refs = 0 ); |  |
explicit numpunct_byname( const std::string& name, std::size_t refs = 0 ); |  | (since C++11)

Constructs a new `std::numpunct_byname` facet for a locale with `name`.

`refs` is used for resource management: if refs == 0, the implementation destroys the facet, when the last std::locale object holding it is destroyed. Otherwise, the object is not destroyed.

### Parameters

name | - | the name of the locale
refs | - | the number of references that link to the facet

[edit]

## std::numpunct_byname::~numpunct_byname

protected: ~numpunct_byname(); |  |

Destroys the facet.

## Inherited from std::numpunct

### Member types

Member type | Definition
`char_type` | `charT`
`string_type` | std::basic_string<charT>

### Member functions

decimal_point | invokes `do_decimal_point` (public member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
thousands_sep | invokes `do_thousands_sep` (public member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
grouping | invokes `do_grouping` (public member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
truename falsename | invokes `do_truename` or `do_falsename` (public member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]

### Protected member functions

do_decimal_point [virtual] | provides the character to use as decimal point (virtual protected member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
do_thousands_sep [virtual] | provides the character to use as thousands separator (virtual protected member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
do_grouping [virtual] | provides the numbers of digits between each pair of thousands separators (virtual protected member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]
do_truename do_falsename [virtual] | provides the string to use as the name of the boolean true and false (virtual protected member function of `std::numpunct`) [edit]

### Member objects

static std::locale::id id | id of the locale (public member object)

### [edit] Example

This example demonistrates how to apply numeric punctuation rules of another language without changing the rest of the locale.

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <locale>
    int main()
    {
        const double number = 1000.25;
        std::wcout << L"default locale: " << number << L'\n';
        std::wcout.imbue(std::locale(std::wcout.getloc(),
                                     new std::numpunct_byname<wchar_t>("ru_RU.UTF8")));
        std::wcout << L"default locale with russian numpunct: " << number << L'\n';
    }

Output:

    default locale: 1000.25
    default locale with russian numpunct: 1 000,25
