[FIXED] How to print positive numbers with a prefix + in C++

Issue

Is there any way to print the integer along with its sign in c++...i.e. by default if the number is negative we would get a - sign printed. In the same way can we get + before the positive numbers.

int x=-1;
cout<<"x="<<x;

gives output x=-1

but,..

int x=+1;
cout<<"x="<<x;

gives output as x=1 but how do i get it printed as x=+1

I know we can take cases by using if-else for x>0 and x<0;..but without using the if-else is there any direct way of printing in c++

Solution

Use std::showpos:

int x = 1;
std::cout << "x=" << std::showpos << x;
