std::numpunct – std::numpunct

Synopsis

Defined in header <locale>

template< class CharT >

class numpunct;

The facet std::numpunct encapsulates numeric punctuation preferences. Stream I/O operations use std::numpunct through std::num_get and std::num_put for parsing numeric input and formatting numeric output.
The numbers that are supported by std::numpunct have the format described below. Here digit represents the radix set specified by the fmtflags argument value, thousands-sep and decimal-point are the results of thousands_sep() and decimal_point() functions respectively. The format of integer values is as follows:

integer     ::= [sign] units

sign        ::= plusminus

plusminus   ::= '+' | '-'

units       ::= digits [thousands-sep units]

digits      ::= digit [digits]

The number of digits between the thousand-seps (maximum size of digits) is specified by the result of grouping().
The format of floating-point values is as follows:

floatval    ::= [sign] units [decimal-point [digits]] [e [sign] digits] |
[sign]        decimal-point  digits   [e [sign] digits]

e           ::= 'e' | 'E'

Inheritance diagram
Two standalone (locale-independent) specializations are provided by the standard library:
Defined in header <locale>
std::numpunct<char> provides equivalents of the "C" locale preferences
std::numpunct<wchar_t> provides wide character equivalents of the "C" locale preferences
In addition, every locale object constructed in a C++ program implements its own (locale-specific) versions of these specializations.

Member types

Member functions

              constructs a new numpunct facet

Protected member functions

do_decimal_point provides the character to use as decimal point
(virtual protected member function)
[virtual]

do_thousands_sep provides the character to use as thousands separator
(virtual protected member function)
[virtual]

do_grouping provides the numbers of digits between each pair of thousands separators
(virtual protected member function)
[virtual]

do_truename provides the string to use as the name of the boolean true and false
do_falsename (virtual protected member function)

Member objects

id of the locale
static std::locale::id id (public member object)

Example

The following example changes the string representations of true and false
// Run this code

#include <iostream>

#include <locale>
struct french_bool : std::numpunct<char> {
    string_type do_truename() const
    {
        return "oui";
    }
    string_type do_falsename() const
    {
        return "non";
    }
};
int main()

{
    std::cout << "default locale: "
              << std::boolalpha << true << ", " << false << '\n';
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), new french_bool));
    std::cout << "locale with modified numpunct: "
              << std::boolalpha << true << ", " << false << '\n';
}

Output:

default locale: true, false
locale with modified numpunct: oui, non
