ios_base& right ( ios_base& str );

<ios>

Adjust output to the right

Sets the adjustfield format flag for the str stream to right.

When adjustfield is set to right, the output is padded to the field width by inserting fill characters at the beginning, effectively adjusting the field to the right.

The adjustfield format flag can take any of the following values (each with its own manipulator):

The adjustfield flag is set to right in standard streams on initialization with the default locale.

Parameters

str

Stream object where to apply.
Because this function is a manipulator, it is designed to be used alone with no arguments in conjunction with the insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operations on streams (see example below).

Return Value

Example

// modify adjustfield using manipulators
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  int n;
  n=-77;
  cout.width(6); cout << right << n << endl;
  cout.width(6); cout << internal << n << endl;
  cout.width(6); cout << left << n << endl;
  return 0;
}

The execution of this example displays something similar to:

   -77
-   77
-77
