public member function

std::moneypunct::decimal_point

<locale>
char_type decimal_point() const;
Return decimal point character
Returns the character used to represent the decimal radix separator in monetary expressions.

During its operation, the version of this function in the generic template simply calls the virtual protected member do_decimal_point, which is the member function in charge of performing the actions described above.

Parameters

none

Return value

The character used as decimal separator in monetary expressions.
char_type is a member alias of the template parameter charT (i.e., the facet's character type).

Possible output:

moneypunct in locale "C":
decimal_point:
thousands_sep:
grouping:
curr_symbol:
positive_sign:
negative_sign: -
frac_digits: 0
pos_format: symbol sign value
neg_format: symbol sign value
