Setprecision is not working right ?

[DdavidDLT]

I hope I don't need to translate the whole code but the thing is for the first meters even tho I use setprecision(2) I get more numbers after the comma "1 meter = 39.3701 coliu. (Should be 39.37)

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
//
const char duom [] = "duomenys.txt";
const char rez [] = "r.txt";
//
int main()
{
    ifstream fd(duom);
    ofstream fr(rez);
    int n, m;
    float colis = 2.54, peda = 12, jardas = 3; // 1 colis = 2.54cm, 3 pedos = 1 jardas, 12 coliu = 1 peda
    float col = 0, ped = 0, jard = 0;
    fd >> n;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++){
        fd >> m;
        m *= 100; // verciu centimetrais
        col = m / colis;
        ped = col / peda;
        jard = ped / jardas;
        fr << i << " sudaro: " << col << fixed << setprecision(2) << " coliu." << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Put this before the loop. It only needs to be done once.

fr << fixed << setprecision(2);

Thank you but could you give the full reason why it doesn't work in the loop?

It needs to be done before you print the floating point number col, but you did it after.
