Defined in header <locale>
public: char_type decimal_point() const;	(1)
protected: virtual char_type do_decimal_point() const;	(2)

1) Public member function, calls the member function do_decimal_point of the most derived class.

2) Returns the character to be used as the decimal separator between integer and fractional parts.

Return value

The object of type char_type to use as the thousands separator. The standard specializations of std::numpunct return '.' and L'.'.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
 
struct slash : std::numpunct<char> {
    char do_decimal_point()   const { return '/'; }  // separate with slash
};
 
int main()
{
    std::cout.precision(10);
    std::cout << "default locale: " << 1234.5678 << '\n';
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), new slash));
    std::cout << "locale with modified numpunct: " << 1234.5678 << '\n';
}

Output:

default locale: 1234.5678
locale with modified numpunct: 1234/5678
