Hi

int main()
{
cout.setf(ios::failbit);

if(cout.fail())
cout<<"error "<<endl;

return 0;
}

What is it supposed to do? ios_base::setf expects a fmtflag, you are passing
an iostate. Your code snippet won't compile for a number of other reasons
as well.

all formatin flag doesn't set

I do not understand what you are saying here.

I want quick answer please

I guess some people may consider that statement impolite, even with the
added "please".
