Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The manipulator "showbase" is the one that adds a prefix to octal numbers (0) and hexadecimal numbers (0x), so they are distinguishable from decimal numbers. The other options, "oct" and "hex," only change the base of the numbers but do not add any prefix to it. "Fixed" is a manipulator used for floating-point numbers to display a fixed number of digits after the decimal point.
