Parameters: This method accepts c as a parameter which is the character argument corresponding to which the fill is to be set.

Return Value: This method does not returns anything. It only acts as stream manipulators.

Example 1:




// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of setfill() function
  
#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
  
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
  
    // Initializing the integer
    int num = 50;
  
    cout << "Before setting the fill char: \n"
         << setw(10);
    cout << num << endl;
  
    // Using setfill()
    cout << "Setting the fill char"
         << " setfill to *: \n"
         << setfill('*')
         << setw(10);
    cout << num << endl;
  
    return 0;
}

Output:
Before setting the fill char: 
        50
Setting the fill char setfill to *: 
********50

Example 2:




// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of setfill() function
  
#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
  
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
  
    // Initializing the integer
    int num = 50;
  
    cout << "Before setting the fill char: \n"
         << setw(10);
    cout << num << endl;
  
    cout << "Setting the fill"
         << " char setfill to $: \n"
         << setfill('$')
         << setw(10);
    cout << num << endl;
  
    return 0;

Output:
Before setting the fill char: 
        50
