The details of this operation occur in several stages:

- [(2.1)](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.1)

  Stage 1:
Determine a printf conversion specifier spec and
determine the characters
that would be printed by printf ([[c.files]](c.files "31.13 C library files"))
given this conversion specifier forprintf(spec, val) assuming that the current locale is the "C" locale[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.1.sentence-1)

- [(2.2)](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.2)

  Stage 2:
Adjust the representation by converting
each char determined by stage 1 to a charT using a conversion and
values returned by members of use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc)[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.2.sentence-1)

- [(2.3)](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.3)

  Stage 3:
Determine where padding is required[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.3.sentence-1)

- [(2.4)](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.4)

  Stage 4:
Insert the sequence into the out[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-2.4.sentence-1)

- [Stage 1:](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1)
  The first action of stage 1 is to determine a conversion specifier[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-1)
  The tables that describe this determination use the following local variables
  fmtflags flags = str.flags();
fmtflags basefield = (flags & (ios_base::basefield));
fmtflags uppercase = (flags & (ios_base::uppercase));
fmtflags floatfield = (flags & (ios_base::floatfield));
fmtflags showpos = (flags & (ios_base::showpos));
fmtflags showbase = (flags & (ios_base::showbase));
fmtflags showpoint = (flags & (ios_base::showpoint));
  All tables used in describing stage 1 are ordered[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-3)
  That is, the first line whose condition is true applies[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-4)
  A line without a condition is the default behavior
when none of the earlier lines apply[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-5)
  For conversion from an integral type other than a character type,
the function determines the integral conversion specifier
as indicated in Table [97](#tab:facet.num.put.int "Table 97: Integer conversions")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-6)
  Table [97](#tab:facet.num.put.int) — Integer conversions [[tab:facet.num.put.int]](./tab:facet.num.put.int)

| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.int-row-6)<br>   for an unsigned integral type | %u |

  For conversion from a floating-point type,
the function determines the floating-point conversion specifier
as indicated in Table [98](#tab:facet.num.put.fp "Table 98: Floating-point conversions")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-7)
  Table [98](#tab:facet.num.put.fp) — Floating-point conversions [[tab:facet.num.put.fp]](./tab:facet.num.put.fp)

| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fp-row-9)<br>   *otherwise* | %G |

  For conversions from an integral or floating-point type
a length modifier is added to the conversion specifier
as indicated in Table [99](#tab:facet.num.put.length "Table 99: Length modifier")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-8)
  Table [99](#tab:facet.num.put.length) — Length modifier [[tab:facet.num.put.length]](./tab:facet.num.put.length)

| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.length-row-7)<br>   *otherwise* | *none* |

  The conversion specifier has the following optional additional qualifiers
prepended as indicated in Table [100](#tab:facet.num.put.conv "Table 100: Numeric conversions")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-9)
  Table [100](#tab:facet.num.put.conv) — Numeric conversions [[tab:facet.num.put.conv]](./tab:facet.num.put.conv)

| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.conv-row-5) | showpoint | # |

  For conversion from a floating-point type,
if floatfield != (ios_base​::​fixed | ios_base​::​​scientific),str.precision() is specified as precision
in the conversion specification[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-10)
  Otherwise, no precision is specified[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-11)
  For conversion from void* the specifier is %p[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-12)
  The representations at the end of stage 1 consists of the char's
that would be printed by a call of printf(s, val) where s is the conversion specifier determined above[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.1.sentence-13)

- [Stage 2:](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.2)
  Any character c other than a decimal point(.) is converted to
a charT viause_facet<ctype<charT>>(loc).widen(c)
  A local variable punct is initialized viaconst numpunct<charT>& punct = use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc);
  For arithmetic types,punct.thousands_sep() characters are inserted into
the sequence as determined by the value returned by punct.do_grouping() using the method described in [[facet.numpunct.virtuals]](facet.numpunct.virtuals "28.3.4.4.1.3 Virtual functions")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.2.sentence-3)
  Decimal point characters(.) are replaced by punct.decimal_point()[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.2.sentence-4)

- [Stage 3:](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.3)
  A local variable is initialized asfmtflags adjustfield = (flags & (ios_base::adjustfield));
  The location of any padding[224](#footnote-224 "The conversion specification #o generates a leading 0 which is not a padding character.") is determined according to Table [101](#tab:facet.num.put.fill "Table 101: Fill padding")[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.3.sentence-2)
  Table [101](#tab:facet.num.put.fill) — Fill padding [[tab:facet.num.put.fill]](./tab:facet.num.put.fill)  

| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-1)<br>   **State** | **Location** |
| --- | --- |
| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-2)<br>   adjustfield == ios_base​::​left | pad after |
| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-3)<br>   adjustfield == ios_base​::​right | pad before |
| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-4)<br>   adjustfield == internal and a sign occurs in the representation | pad after the sign |
| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-5)<br>   adjustfield == internal and representation after stage 1 began with 0x or 0X | pad after x or X |
| [🔗](#tab:facet.num.put.fill-row-6)<br>   *otherwise* | pad before |

  If str.width() is nonzero and the number of charT's
in the sequence after stage 2 is less than str.​width(),
then enough fill characters are added to the sequence
at the position indicated for padding
to bring the length of the sequence to str.width()[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.3.sentence-3)
  str.width(0) is called[.](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.3.sentence-4)

- [Stage 4:](#facet.num.put.virtuals-5.4)
  The sequence of charT's at the end of stage 3 are output via*out++ = c
