I am having trouble with a program I am writing.  I calls for output using a different number of deciaml places for each output.  I am using Visual Basic C++.  I have the folowing lines in my program:

cout << fixed << showpoint;

then some equations then,

cout << setprecision(0) << htInches << " inches" << endl;
cout << setprecision(2) << htMeters << " meters" <<endl;
cout << setprecision(0) << htCentimeters<< " centimeters" << endl;

I am racking my brain trying to get this to work.  I have been all through the book also.  No help at all.  Any help I can get would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
