std::numpunct

Member functions

numpunct::numpunct

numpunct::~numpunct

numpunct::decimal_point numpunct::do_decimal_point

numpunct::thousands_sep numpunct::do_thousands_sep

numpunct::grouping numpunct::do_grouping

numpunct::truename numpunct::do_truename

numpunct::falsename numpunct::do_falsename

 

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.

Inheritance diagram

Two 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

Member types

Member type	Definition
char_type	charT
string_type	std::basic_string<charT>

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a new numpunct facet (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs a numpunct facet (protected member function)
decimal_point	invokes do_decimal_point (public member function)
thousands_sep	invokes do_thousands_sep (public member function)
grouping	invokes do_grouping (public member function)
truename	invokes do_truename (public member function)
falsename	invokes do_falsename (public member function)

Protected member functions

do_decimal_point [virtual]	provides the character to use as decimal point (virtual protected member function)
do_thousands_sep [virtual]	provides the character to use as thousands separator (virtual protected member function)
do_grouping [virtual]	provides the numbers of digits between each pair of thousands separators (virtual protected member function)
do_truename [virtual]	provides the string to use as the name of the boolean true (virtual protected member function)
do_falsename [virtual]	provides the string to use as the name of the boolean false (virtual protected member function)

Member objects

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

Example

The following example changes the string representations of true and false

#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
