Question

Define left and right Manipulators.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Manipulators:

  • The stream manipulators are the functions which are specially designed for “insertion(<<)” and “extraction(>>)”.
  • The “cout” facilitates ways to format the output data.
  • This also effects the appearance of the output data on the console screen.
Step 2

Left manipulators:

  • The left() function is used to set the adjust field format flag for the given string.
  • In order to display the output in left-justified, the keyword “left” is used.
  • The width() is used to pad the field.

For example:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    // Initializing the integer

    double x = 2.24;

    // Using left()

    cout << "Left Manipulator:";

    //Setting width

    cout.width(12);

    //Printing

    cout << left << x << endl;

    return 0;

}
