ios_base& dec(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base​::​dec, ios_base​::​basefield).
Returns: str.270
ios_base& hex(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base​::​hex, ios_base​::​basefield).
Returns: str.

Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base​::​oct, ios_base​::​basefield).
Returns: str.
