ios_base& fixed(ios_base& str);

1

Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::fixed, ios_base::floatfield).

2

Returns: str.

ios_base& scientific(ios_base& str);

3

Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::scientific, ios_base::floatfield).

4

Returns: str.

ios_base& hexfloat(ios_base& str);

5

Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific, ios_base::floatfield).

6

Returns: str.

7

[ Note: The more obvious use of ios_base::hex to specify hexadecimal floating-point format would change the meaning of existing well defined programs. C++2003 gives no meaning to the combination of fixed and scientific. — end note ]

ios_base& defaultfloat(ios_base& str);

8

Effects: Calls str.unsetf(ios_base::floatfield).

9

Returns: str.
