How to make a number like this "07.00"

[Nelo87]

I have to make a program where my input should be 07.00 instead of 07:00. I'm talking about any number. I tried using the setprecision manipulator, but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me please?

I think you mean "output"...anyway, the setprecision manipulator SHOULD work...I've never had a problem with it...can you post your code?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace::std;

int main ()//START OF MAIN FUNCTION
{

//RATES
double nights        = 0.12, //00:00 - 06:59
       days          = 0.55, //07:00 - 19:00
       evenings      = 0.35; //19:01 - 23:59

//The Input Variables
double startTime;            //Start time of the Call
int    numberMinutes = 0;    //Number of Minutes of the Call

cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>startTime;
cout<<endl<<endl;

cout<<setprecision(4)<<startTime<<endl;

system("pause");
return 0;
}//END OF MAIN FUNCTION 

My program should recognize my input, w/e the hour is, and it should match the hour with the rate and then multiply the rate times how long the call was. I just need help with making a 0 appear infront of a number.

ETA: You know, I know what to do now. I had misread something in the book. Thanx for the help though.

No problem. In fact, I commend you for actually finding stuff out on your own! (Unlike a lot of the people on here...)

Remember to use cin.ignore(); after line 19. Your program will probably go tits up otherwise.
