Cout Formatting Using iomanip

Posted 04 October 2012 - 10:15 AM

I am trying to take an integer that has a max value of 9999 (i.e. 543 or 1230) and display it as a double in the format "$05.43" or "$12.30" where there are always 4 decimals shown. This function takes this integer, divides by 100 and attempts to display it in the above format, but what ends up happening is this:

$0.00
: r

$0.01
: e

$0.11
: w

$1.11
: q

$11.11
: x

Process returned 0 (0x0) execution time : 57.650 s
Press any key to continue.

it only displays 4 digits when the integer actually has 4 digits in it, so i guess the padding is what is failing. any insight?

void MCounter::show()
{
    double z=double(x)/100;
    cout << "$";
    cout << fixed << setprecision(2);
    cout << setfill('0') << setw(4) << z;
}
