Modifies the default numeric base for integer I/O

1) sets the basefield of the stream str to dec as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::dec, std::ios_base::basefield)

2) sets the basefield of the stream str to hex as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::hex, std::ios_base::basefield)

3) sets the basefield of the stream str to oct as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::oct, std::ios_base::basefield)

This is an I/O manipulator, it may be called with an expression such as out << std::hex for any out of type std::basic_ostream or with an expression such as in >> std::hex for any in of type std::basic_istream.

[edit] Parameters

str - reference to I/O stream

[edit] Return value

str (reference to the stream after manipulation)

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
    std::cout << "The number 42 in octal:   " << std::oct << 42 << '\n'
              << "The number 42 in decimal: " << std::dec << 42 << '\n'
              << "The number 42 in hex:     " << std::hex << 42 << '\n';
    int n;
    std::istringstream("2A") >> std::hex >> n;
    std::cout << std::dec << "Parsing \"2A\" as hex gives " << n << '\n';
}

Output:

The number 42 in octal:   52
The number 42 in decimal: 42
The number 42 in hex:     2a
Parsing "2A" as hex gives 42
