Name

showpos function — Manipulator to show plus sign for nonnegative numbers

Synopsis

ios_base& showpos(ios_base& stream)

The showpos function is a manipulator that sets the showpos flag, which tells an output stream to write a plus (+) sign, even if the sign is unnecessary (the value is 0 or positive). Specifically, the function calls stream.setf(ios_base::showpos) and returns stream.
