cout print hex instead of decimal

c++

Solution

You probably have set std::cout to print hex in prior in the context of your code but forget to reset. For example:

std::cout<<std::hex<<12;
/*blah blah blah*/
std::cout<<12; //this will print in hex form still

so you have to do like the following

std::cout<<std::dec<<12;

to print in decimal form.

Problem

has it occurred to anyone that a simple `std::cout` might print a value in hex format when it is supposed to format just a decimal(like an integer)? for example, I have a line as : std::cout << "_Agent [" << target << "] is still among " << ((target->currWorker)->getEntities().size()) << " entities of worker[" << target->currWorker << "]" << std::endl; which would print : _Agent [0x2c6d530] is still among 0x1 entities of worker[0x2c520f0] Note: 1-the said out put is sometime decimal and some times hex 2- the behaviour is smae even if I change `((target->currWorker)->getEntities().size())` to `(int)((target->currWorker)->getEntities().size())` any hints? thanks
