SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

17       These  two  functions  don't  actually belong to the gstreams, they are
18       here simply because they sometimes make the life a bit easier  (without
19       costing  anything  in  executable  size if they are left unused). Their
20       purpose is to make the class fix capable of  extracting/inserting  with
21       the notation
22
23          fix a_number = 0.3;
24          cout << a_number;
25          cin >> a_number;
26
27       in  conjuction with the standard stream system. And, by the way, conse‐
28       quently also in conjuction with a gstream:
29
30          gstream gs;
31          gs << a_number;
32          gs >> a_number;
33
34       You are probably not interested in calling  them  with  their  function
35       names, only with the <</>> operators, so this paragraph is written just
36       to make you aware of the possibility of doing that.
