C++, output of one digit after the decimal -
i'm new in c++ , help. don't understand why i'm getting output of 1 digit after decimal on sum below. have tried solve no success.
int main() { double alt, t; t = 4.5; // function calculating altitude on time. alt = (-0.12)*pow(t, 4) +(12.0)*pow(t, 3) -(380.0)*pow(t, 2) +(4100.0)*t +220.0; cout << alt << endl; return 0; }
the default behaviour of cout
print 6 significant digits of floating points. can change with:
cout.precision(10); cout << alt << endl;
which gives output:
12019.2925
which seems correct solution.
you should not try set precision higher 15, because precision limit of double type (typically). can use numeric_limits<double>::digits10
<limits>
make sure precision have.
