| This program prints numbers without their fractional part (though
| rounded not truncated), or if they are smaller than one, prints only the
| first non-zero decimal place.  You have to calculate the precision
| required to do this yourself.  Note the use of epsilon() - this is
| important.
|
| #include <iostream>
| #include <limits>
| #include <iomanip>
| #include <cmath>
| using namespace std;
|
| int main()
| {
|      // remember the original format of the stream
|      ios_base::fmtflags flags = cout.flags();
|      streamsize prec = cout.precision();
|
|      // we never want scientific notation
|      cout.setf(ios_base::fixed, ios_base::floatfield);
|
|      // my implementation won't ever print more than 18 decimal places
|      for (double d=100000000000000.0; d>=1e-18; d/=10.0) {
| if(d < 1)
|     cout.precision(
| // enough precision for one decimal place
| static_cast<streamsize>(
|     -log10(d) + 1 - numeric_limits<double>::epsilon()
|     )
| );
| else // don't print fractional part of numbers greater than 1
|     cout.precision(0);
| cout << d << '\n';
|      }
|
|      // force the output on to the screen
|      cout.flush();
|
|      // restore the stream to its former glory
|      cout.precision(prec);
|      cout.setf(ios_base::fmtflags(0), ios_base::floatfield);
| }
|
| Its output:

Thanks. It is almost OK.
The only thing I want to change is to see output as following :
        0.1
      0.01
    0.001
  0.0001
0.00001
............


Thanks in advance,
