The oct() method of stream manipulators in C++ is used to set the baseline format flag for the specified str stream. This flag sets the baseline for Octal numbers. Hence the output shows the number in Octal base. Syntax:
ios_base& oct (ios_base& str)
Parameters: This method accepts str as a parameter which is the stream for which the format flag is affected. Return Value: This method returns the stream str with internal format flag set. Example 1: CPP
// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of oct() function

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    // Initializing the number
    int n = 321;

    // Using oct()
    cout << "oct flag: "
         << oct << n << endl;

    return 0;
}
Output:
oct flag: 501
Example 2: CPP
// C++ code to demonstrate
// the working of oct() function

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    // Initializing the number
    int n = -321;

    // Using oct()
    cout << "oct flag: "
         << oct << n << endl;

    return 0;
}
Output:
oct flag: 37777777277
