A quick example of how to display the decimals:

3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip> // Need it for fixed and setprecision().


int main()
{
    double a = 4.0;
    double b = 4.0;
    double sum = a + b;

    // Run a for loop to display the number of decimals.
    for (int count = 0; count < 10; count++)
    {
	   std::cout << "Printing with " << count << " decimal...\n";
	   std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(count) << sum << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}


Output:
