+===== Formatting cout =====
+It is possible to format cout's output by including ''#include <iomanip>''
+Then get access to these:
+<code cpp>
+cout << fixed << result << endl; // This will set the display to use fixed representation (default of 6 digits?)
+cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << result; // This will force cout to isplay only 2 decimals and will round to reach this result
 </code>
+<code cpp>
+cout << result << endl; // this would still show with the previous setprecision setting.
+cout << setprecision(3) << result2; // the variable is not affect by set precision, so it would now show 3 decimals
+cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << setw(15) << left << result << "End of line" <<endl;</code>
+Using setw we can force the display of a certain number of characters. In this case, if the variable is more than 15 characters, it will be truncated, if not then white spaces will be added. The next (optional) setting (in this case "left" determines the orientation of the text.
