set precision struggles.
Oct 9, 2014 at 5:06am UTC
I seem to be having some issues using set precision, fixed and a few other manipulators to fix my output with three decimal places as well as a decimal point showing up.
I have also tried moving the fixed, show point, and set precision in and out of the while function and have not come up with a fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main(){
// variable declarations
double g = 32, t, d, counter = 1, a;
// ask for input
cout << "This Program displays the total distance fallen in second incriments" << endl;
cout << "Please input a time in seconds: " << endl;
cin >> t;
cout << endl;
// set up loop for invalids
while (t < 1) {
cout << "\nERROR! You did not enter a positive integer!" <<
"input a postive interger: " << endl;
cin >> t;
}
// set up display
cout << setw(20) << "Time"
<< setw(20) << "Interval Distance"
<< setw(20) << "Total Distance" << endl;
cout << setw(20) << "--------------------"
<< setw(20) << "--------------------"
<< setw(20) << "--------------------" << endl;
cout << fixed;
cout << showpoint;
cout << dec;
cout << setprecision(3);
// loop for all numbers less than input.
while (counter <= t) {
cout << setw(20) << counter << setw(20) <<
(a = .5 * g * pow(counter, 2) - (.5 * g * pow(counter - 1, 2))) <<
setw(20) << (d = .5 * g * pow(counter, 2)) << endl;
counter++;
}
return (0);
}

What exactly your problem is?
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(3) << 3.14159265358;
Should do the trick, but you are already using it.
