#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    // Initializing the integer
    int num = 50;

    // Using setiosflags()
    cout << "Setting showbase flag "
         << "using setiosflags: \n"
         << hex
         << setiosflags(ios::showbase)
         << num << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output: 
Setting showbase flag using setiosflags: 
0x32

 

Example 2:
 

CPP 
// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of setiosflags() function

#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    // Initializing the integer
    int num = 50;

    // Using setiosflags()
    cout << "Setting showbase and uppercase"
         << " flag using setiosflags: \n"
         << hex
         << setiosflags(
                ios::showbase
                | ios::uppercase)
