Output for different data types

Ishvite (34)
In this program I am trying to get a number the user inputs to display in hex and decimal for different data types.The comment portions are the desired output.

I have been using #include <iomanip> so I can change the number to "hex" and "dec" but everything that I've hard-coded in, except for the bool, char, etc., isn't giving me the correct output. For example on line 10 I've tried << dec << number and << hex << number But other ones like the unsigned short on line 24 work just fine.

Is there a reason why it is working with some data types and not with others?

Because the std::hex manipulator only works with integral types. Note that char is not considered an integral type, but unsigned char is.
