-The `dec`, `oct`, and `hex` manipulators set the default radix for input and output. For example, if you insert the `hex` manipulator into the output stream, the object correctly translates the internal data representation of integers into a hexadecimal output format. The numbers are displayed with digits a through f in lower case if the [`uppercase`](../standard-library/ios-functions.md#uppercase) flag is clear (the default); otherwise, they are displayed in upper case. The default radix is `dec` (decimal).

 ## Quoted strings (C++14)
 
-When you insert a string into a stream, you can easily retrieve the same string back by calling the `stringstream::str()` member function. However, if you want to use the extraction operator to insert the stream into a new string at a later point, you may get an unexpected result because the `>>` operator by default will stop when it encounters the first whitespace character.

-This behavior can be overcome manually, but to make string round-tripping more convenient, C++14 adds the `std::quoted` stream manipulator in `<iomanip>`. Upon insertion, `quoted()` surrounds the string with a delimiter (double quote ' " ' by default) and upon extraction manipulates the stream to extract all characters until the final delimiter is encountered. Any embedded quotes are escaped with an escape character ('\\\\' by default).

-The whitespace behavior of the insertion and extraction operations is independent of how a string is represented in code, so the quoted operator is useful regardless of whether the input string is a raw string literal or a regular string. The input string, whatever its format, can have embedded quotes, line breaks, tabs, and so on and all these will be preserved by the `quoted()` manipulator.
