It is used to sets the adjustfield format flag for the str stream to left. When adjustfield is set to left, the output is padded to the field width (width) by inserting fill characters (fill) at the end, effectively adjusting the field to the left.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for std::left function.
ios_base& left (ios_base& str);Parameters
str − Stream object whose format flag is affected.
Return ValueIt returns Argument str.
ExceptionsBasic guarantee − if an exception is thrown, str is in a valid state.
Data racesIt modifies str. Concurrent access to the same stream object may cause data races.
ExampleIn below example explains about std::left function.
#include <iostream> int main () { int n = -77; std::cout.width(6); std::cout << std::internal << n << '\n'; std::cout.width(6); std::cout << std::left << n << '\n'; std::cout.width(6); std::cout << std::right << n << '\n'; return 0; }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
- 77 -77 -77
