float precision

[ravenheart]

hello , i got a float and want to display it in the form  numbers. XX
 i did it this way:
float  score = Spieluhr.GetElapsedTime();
        out2.setf(ios::precision(2)) << Spieluhr.GetElapsedTime() ;
        str2 = out2.str();
        Text.SetText(str2);
        out2.seekp(0) ;

out is a sstream, out << setprecision(2) doesnt work, too
Text is a String

[Laurent]

Code: [Select]

out << setprecision(2) << fixed << score;

well now same again it seems:

C:\Users\Isis\Documents\C++\MEINS\Pong_new\main.cpp||In function `int main()':|
C:\Users\Isis\Documents\C++\MEINS\Pong_new\main.cpp|180|error: `[color=darkred]setprecision[/color]' was not declared in this scope|

it seems sstreams dont have setprecision

It's in header <iomanip> and namespace std.

Code: [Select]

#include <iomanip>
#include <sstream>

std::ostringstream out;
float score = 0.1234567f;
out << std::setprecision(2) << std::fixed << score;

well now that works, but now i have another prblem:

in out there is the current score, when a new game is started

the timer is at 0.00, when the game befor had lets say 111.11 s, then
in the new game 0.0011 is shown because i only use out.seekp(0) to get new data in it how can i clear a ostringstream ?

[Laurent]

Code: [Select]

oss.str("");

[ravenheart]

so i can modify the content of the stream and force it to be anything i want?

i thought its only to get what is already in it ^^

but now it works fine , thank you

=============================
as u see there are many beginners questions
not really related to sfml thats because i learn
c++ by myself and only java at university
thanks again =)

you could also create new stringstreams every time ..

Code: [Select]


int main()
{
  float myval = 0.5f;
  std::string myval_str;
  {
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << myval;
    myval_str = ss.str();
  }
}


scopes can have their uses
