ln3 Method - Print

Description

Output the current value of the large number to a C++ stream.

Signature

void Print( ostream &stream, short base=10 ) const

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	ostream	An output stream object, usually cout.
base	short	(Optional)  The base to be used.  Valid bases are 16 (hex), 10 (decimal), 8 (octal), and 2 (binary).  If this parameter is not user, then 10 will be used.

Returns

( none )

Example

Print the large number, X, on the stream cout (the standard output stream), in base 8 (octal):

ln X; ... X.Print( cout, 8 );

Notes

This function is seldom used.  The same functionality can be achieved using the stream inertion operator (<<) with the one of the base manipulators.  Note that there is no manipulator for binary, so this function is the only way to print a base two representation of the number.
