The C++ std::ios::showpos() function is a manipulator that forces the output stream to display a plus sign (+) before positive numbers. It is used to improve the readability of numerical outputs, especially when differentiating positive values form negative ones.
For example, std::cout << std::showpos << 112; then the output will be +112.
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax for std::ios::showpos() function.
ios_base& showpos (ios_base& str);Parameters
This function returns the Argument str.
ExceptionsIf 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 the following example, we are going to consider the basic usage of the showpos() function.
#include <iostream> int main() { int x = 121; std::cout << std::showpos; std::cout << "Result : " << x << std::endl; return 0; }Output
Output of the above code is as follows −
Result : +121Example
Consider the following example, where we are going to use the showpos() function with the negative and positive numbers.
#include <iostream> int main() { int x = 11; int y = -11; std::cout << std::showpos; std::cout << "Result : " << x << std::endl; std::cout << "Result : " << y << std::endl; return 0; }Output
Following is the output of the above code −
Result : +11 Result : -11Example
In the following example, we are going to use the showpos() function with floating points.
#include <iostream> int main() { double x = 11.23; std::cout << std::showpos; std::cout << "Result : " << x << std::endl; return 0; }Output
If we run the above code it will generate the following output −
Result : +11.23
