< cpp‎ | io‎ | manip

Defined in header `<ios>` |  |
std::ios_base& showpos( std::ios_base& str ); | (1) |
std::ios_base& noshowpos( std::ios_base& str ); | (2) |

Enables or disables the display of the plus sign '+' in non-negative integer output. Has no effect on input.

1) enables the `showpos` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.setf(std::ios_base::showpos)

2) disables the `showpos` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.unsetf(std::ios_base::showpos)

This is an I/O manipulator, it may be called with an expression such as out << std::showpos for any `out` of type std::basic_ostream or with an expression such as in >> std::showpos for any `in` of type std::basic_istream.

### Parameters

str | - | reference to I/O stream

### Return value

`str` (reference to the stream after manipulation)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        std::cout
            << "showpos: " << std::showpos << 42 << ' ' << 3.14 << ' ' << 0 << '\n'
            << "noshowpos: " << std::noshowpos << 42 << ' ' << 3.14 << ' ' << 0 << '\n';
    }

Output:

    showpos: +42 +3.14 +0
    noshowpos: 42 3.14 0
