III. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME/S (ILO) OF THE LABORATORY EXERCISE

At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:
 Know the importance of input/output statement and apply in the creation of C++
programs
 Enumerate and use mathematical library functions in solving problems.
 Create C++ programs using assignment operators and formatting output
techniques.

IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. Input/Output Statement

a. Standard output (cout)

On most program environments, the standard output by default is the screen,
and the C++ stream object defined to access it is cout.

 For formatted output operations, cout is used together with the insertion
operator, which is written as << (i.e., two "less than" signs).
cout << "Output sentence"; // prints Output sentence on screen
cout << 120; // prints number 120 on screen
cout << x; // prints the value of x on screen

  Multiple insertion operations (<<) may be chained in a single statement:
cout << "This " << " is a " << "single C++ statement";
cout << "I am " << age << " years old and my zipcode is " << zipcode;

 To insert a line break, a new-line character shall be inserted at the exact position
the line should be broken. In C++, a new-line character can be specified as \n
(i.e., a backslash character followed by a lowercase n). For example:
cout << "First sentence.\n";
cout << "Second sentence.\nThird sentence.";

This produces the following output:

First sentence.
Second sentence.
Third sentence.

 Alternatively, the endl manipulator can also be used to break lines. For example:
cout << "First sentence." << endl;
cout << "Second sentence." << endl;

This would print:

First sentence.
Second sentence.

b. Standard input (cin)

In most program environments, the standard input by default is the keyboard,

and the C++ stream object defined to access it is cin.

 For formatted input operations, cin is used together with the extraction
operator, which is written as >> (i.e., two "greater than" signs). This operator is
then followed by the variable where the extracted data is stored. For example:
int age;
cin >> age;

 Extractions on cin can also be chained to request more than one datum in a
single statement:
cin >> a >> b;
This is equivalent to:

 cin >> a;
cin >> b;

B. Mathematical Functions

C++ provides various mathematical functions that aid in mathematical calculations.

C++ Mathematical Functions List

Function Description Example

The ceil() function returns the

ceil(1.03) gives 2.0 ceil
ceil smallest integer represented as
(-1.03) gives -1.0
a double not less than num

The cos() function returns the

cos(val)
cosine of arg.
cos (val is a double type
The value of arg must be in
identifier)
radians

The exp() function returns the

exp(2.0) gives the value
exp natural logarithm e raised to the
of e2
arg power

The floor() function returns the

floor(1.03) gives 1.0
floor largest integer (represented by
floor(-1.03) gives -2.0
double) not greater than num

The pow() function returns

base raised to exp power i.e., pow(3.0, 0) gives value
base exp. of 30
pow
A domain error occurs if base = pow(4.0, 2.0) gives
0 and exp <= 0. Also if base < 0 value of 42
and exp is not integer.

The sin() function returns the

sin(val)
sin of arg.
sin (val is a double type
The value of arg must be in
identifier)
radians

sqrt The sqrt() function returns the sqrt(81.0) gives 9.0

 square root of num.
If num < 0, domain error occurs

The tan() function returns the

tangent of arg.
tan tan(val)
The value of arg must be in
radians

C. FORMATTING OUTPUT

Formatting output in C++, is important in the development of the output screen, which
can be easily read and understood. C++ offers the programmer several input/output
manipulators. Two of these (widely used) I/O manipulators are:

 setw()
 setprecision()

In order to use these manipulators, you must include the header file named iomanip.h.
Here is an example, showing how to include this header file in your C++ program.

#include<iomanip.h>

The setw() Manipulator

In C++, the setw() manipulators sets the width of the field assigned for the output. It
takes the size of the field (in number of characters) as parameter. Here is an example,
this code fragment:

cout<<setw(6)<<"R";

generates the following output on the screen (each underscore represents a blank
space).

_ _ _ _ _R

CCS0003L-Computer Programming 1 Page 5

of 15
 The setw() manipulator does not stick from one cout statement to the next. For
example, if you want to right-justify three numbers within an 8-space field, you will
need to repeat setw() for each value, as it shown below:

cout<<setw(8)<<22<<"\n";
cout<<setw(8)<<4444<<"\n";
cout<<setw(8)<<666666<<endl;

The output will be (each underscore represents a blank space):

_ _ _ _ _ _ 2 2
_ _ _ _ 4 4 4 4
_ _ 6 6 6 6 6 6

C++ Formatting Output Example

Here are some example program demonstrating, how to format the output screen in C+
+

/* C++ Formatting Output - The setw() Manipulator */

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
int i, num;
cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>num;
cout<<"\nTable of "<<num<<" is:\n\n";
for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
{

cout<<num<<setw(3)<<"*"<<setw(4)<<i<<setw(4)<<"="<<setw(4)<<num*i<<"\n";
}
getch();
}

Here is the sample run of the above C++ program:

CCS0003L-Computer Programming 1 Page 6

 Here another type of C++ program, also demonstrating, output formatting in C++

/* C++ Formatting Output - The setw() Manipulator */

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
int i;
long int num;
cout<<"Enter a number: ";
cin>>num;
cout<<"\nMultiplying (by 5) and printing the number 10 times with 3
columns:\n";
for(i=0; i<10; i++)
{
cout<<num<<setw(25)<<num<<setw(25)<<num<<"\n";
num = num * 5;
}
getch();
}

Here is the sample run of this C++ program:

 The setprecision() manipulator

In C++, the setprecision() manipulator sets the total number of digits to be displayed
when floating-point numbers are printed. Here is an example, this code fragment:

cout<<setprecision(5)<<123.456;

will print the following output to the screen (notice the rounding) :

123.46

The setprecision() manipulator can also be used to set the number of decimal places to
be displayed. In order for setprecision() to accomplish this task, you will have to set an
ios flag. The flag is set with the following statement :

cout.setf(ios::fixed);

Once the flag has been set, the number you pass to setprecision() is the number of
decimal places you want displayed. The following code:

cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout<<setprecision(5)<<12.345678;

generates the following output on the screen (notice no rounding):

CCS0003L-Computer Programming 1 Page 8

of 15
 12.34567

Additional IOS flags

In the statement:

cout.setf(ios::fixed);

"fixed" i.e., ios::fixed is referred to as a format option. Other possible format options can be
one of the following :

Format
Meaning
Value

left left-justify the output

right right-justify the output

displays decimal point and

trailing zeros for all floating
showpoint
point numbers, even if the
decimal places are not needed

display the "e" in E-notation as

uppercase
"E" rather than "e"

display a leading plus sign

showpos
before positive values

display floating point numbers

scientific
in scientific ("E") notation

display floating point numbers

fixed in normal notation - no trailing
zeroes and no scientific notation

You can remove these options by replacing setf(used with cout, recall cout.setf) with
unsetf. For example, to get 5.8 to display as 5.80, the following lines of code are needed :

// display money
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);

CCS0003L-Computer Programming 1 Page 9

of 15
 cout<<setprecision(2);
cout<<5.8;

Please note that all the subsequent couts retain the precision set with the last
setprecision(). That means setprecision() is "sticky". Whatever precision you set, sticks
with the cout device until such time as you change it with an additional setprecision()
later in the program.

 ACTIVITY 4.2: Simple Payroll

Create a program that generates monthly payroll of the employees. The specifications are
as follows:

 Employee Information (Input)

- Payroll period (date)
- Employee ID
- Employee name
- Monthly salary
- Lates and absences (in minutes)
Note: For lates and absences, convert the minutes to hours by dividing it by 60 minutes.
Hourly rate of the employee can be computed by dividing the monthly salary by
30 then divide the result by 8 hours per day.
 Deduction
- Lates and absences (amount)
- Philhealth employee contribution (constant value of 1000)
- Pag-ibig employee contribution - (constant value of 800)
- SSS employee contribution (constant value of 1,200)
- Tax (12% of the Monthly Salary)

VI. QUESTION AND ANSWER

Directions: Briefly answer the questions below.

 Do you think we really need to format the presentation of numbers in the output? Why or
Why not?
ANS. I think we need to format the presentation of numbers in the output
so that we can read it clearly and we can understand it.

 What do you think is the importance of having a readily available mathematics functions?
ANS. The importance of having a readily available mathematics function is it makes
our work easier. Because we just need to analyze or pick the mathematics function that we
need to use.
