Study Notes
Input and Output
-
cinand the Extraction Operator>>reads data into variables of various data types-
char: Reads a single character, skipping leading whitespaces -
int&double: Reads digits and signs, stopping at whitespace or non-digit characters
-
-
getline(cin, strVar)reads the entire line of input, including whitespaces and stops at the newline character (\n) -
cin.ignore()discards the next character from the input stream- Can be used with arguments:
.ignore(intExp, chExp)where:-
intExp: Number of characters to ignore -
chExp: Character to stop ignoring at
-
- Can be used with arguments:
String Input
-
cin >> strVar: Exctracts characters until finding a whitespace- Ignores initial whitespaces and only stores the characters leading up to the first whitespace
- For input lines containing multiple words or phrases,
cin >> strVarwill only store the first word. -
getline(cin, strVar): Reads the entire line of input, including whitespaces- Useful for capturing lines that contain spaces
Formatting Output
-
coutis used to output data to the console -
cout <<: The insertion operator sends data to the console-
<<"can be used multiple times in a singlecoutstatement to output different data
-
- Manipulators are used to format output:
-
endl: Inserts a newline character (\n)
-
-
setw(int): Sets the field width of the next value output- Sets minimum width for the next value to print
- Pads with spaces if the value is shorter than the specified field width
-
setprecision(int): Sets the precision of floating-point numbers- Specifies the number of digits to display after the decimal point
-
fixedmanipulator can be used to force the use of fixed-point notation
-
setfill(char): Sets the fill character to be used for padding in output- Sets a character to be used to fill the remaining space in field width
-
left: Left-aligns the output -
right: Right-aligns the output -
showpos: Shows the sign of positive numbers -
noshowpos: Hides the sign of positive numbers -
showpoint: Shows the decimal point for all floating-point numbers -
noshowpoint: Hides the decimal point for all floating-point numbers
