The skipws() method of stream manipulators in C++ is used to set the skipws format flag for the specified str stream. This flag skips the whitespaces in the input stream before the first non-whitespace character.
Syntax:
ios_base& skipws (ios_base& str)
Parameters: This method accepts str as a parameter which is the stream for which the format flag is affected.
Return Value: This method returns the stream str with skipws format flag set.
Example 1:
// C++ code to demonstrate // the working of skipws() function #include <iostream> #include <sstream> using namespace std;
int main()
{ // Initializing the character
char a, b, c;
// Stream input with leading whitespaces
istringstream iss( " GFG" );
// Using skipws()
iss >> skipws >> a >> b >> c;
cout << "skipws flag: "
<< a << endl
<< b << endl
<< c << endl;
return 0;
} |
Output:
skipws flag: G F G
Example 2:
// C++ code to demonstrate // the working of skipws() function #include <iostream> #include <sstream> using namespace std;
int main()
{ // Initializing the character
char a;
// Stream input with leading whitespaces
istringstream iss( " G" );
// Using skipws()
iss >> skipws >> a;
cout << "skipws flag: "
<< a << endl;
return 0;
} |
Output:
skipws flag: G
