Use:

     cout.setf(ios::fixed);
     cout.precision(2);

nada´s reply is correct but you can also use:

cout << setprecision(2) << setiosflags(ios::fixed) ;

>cout << setprecision(2) << setiosflags(ios::fixed) ;

I read something recently that said this would be the more correct:

     cout << setprecision(2) << setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint);

The reference mentioned that showpoint should always be set when using 
setiosflag.

Can anyone shed more light on this?
