Hi ~ Just found DANIWEB while researching ios format flags...Programming is new to me though this is my second programming class (C++). My first was VB I. Things were going along swimmingly until our book introduced flags for formatting : ios::std:: etc....
Well the book did NOT introduce these flags...they just kind of popped up and we are supposed to know how to go from cout << setw(8) << fixed << setprecision(2) etc. to ios formatting flags. Quite frustrating really. I have been to cplusplus.com and searched for some kind of tutorial and have found nothing but a list of flags, no how or why. So here I am, hoping to find a bit of direction.
