I want to print numbers in a file using stl with the number of decimal places, and not general accuracy.
So, if I do this:
int precision = 16;
std::vector<double> thePoint(3);
thePoint[0] = 86.3671436;
thePoint[1] = -334.8866574;
thePoint[2] = 24.2814;
ofstream file1(tempFileName, ios::trunc);
file1 << std::setprecision(precision)
<< thePoint[0] << "\\"
<< thePoint[1] << "\\"
<< thePoint[2] << "\\";
I will get these numbers:
86.36714359999999\-334.8866574\24.28140258789063
I want it:
86.37\-334.89\24.28
In other words, truncation at two decimal points. If I set the accuracy to 4, then I will get
86.37\-334.9\24.28
those. the second number is incorrectly truncated.
I don't want to manipulate each number explicitly to get a truncation, especially since I seem to get random 9 repetitions or 0000000001 or something similar that remains.
I'm sure there is something obvious, like using printf (%. 2f) or something like that, but I'm not sure how to mix this with stl <and stream.
