setw
Specifies the width of the display field for the next element in the stream.
T6 setw(
streamsize _Wide
);
Parameters
- _Wide
The width of the display field.
Return Value
The manipulator returns an object that, when extracted from or inserted into the stream str, calls str.width(_Wide), then returns str.
Remarks
setw sets the width only for the next element in the stream and must be inserted before each element whose width you want to specify.
Example
// iomanip_setw.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
// Sample use of the following manipulators:
// resetiosflags
// setiosflags
// setbase
// setfill
// setprecision
// setw
