numpunct<> specifies numeric punctuation.
The specializations required in Table 102 ([locale.category]), namely numpunct<​wchar_­t> and numpunct<char>, provide classic "C" numeric formats, i.e., they contain information equivalent to that contained in the "C" locale or their wide character counterparts as if obtained by a call to widen.

#
The syntax for number formats is as follows, where digit represents the radix set specified by the fmtflags argument value, and thousands-sep and decimal-point are the results of corresponding numpunct<charT> members.
Integer values have the format:
intval:
sign units
sign:
+
-
units:
digits
digits thousands-sep units
digits:
digit digits
and floating-point values have:
floatval:
sign units fractional exponent
sign decimal-point digits exponent
fractional:
decimal-point digits
exponent:
e sign digits
e:
e
E
where the number of digits between thousands-seps is as specified by do_­grouping().
For parsing, if the digits portion contains no thousands-separators, no grouping constraint is applied.
