NAME
std::numpunct::decimal_point,do_decimal_point - std::numpunct::decimal_point,do_decimal_point

Synopsis
   Defined in header <locale>
   public: (1)
   char_type decimal_point() const;
   protected: (2)

// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <locale>
 struct slash : std::numpunct<char>
 {
     char do_decimal_point() const { return '/'; } // separate with slash
 };
 int main()
 {
     std::cout.precision(10);
     std::cout << "default locale: " << 1234.5678 << '\n';
     std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), new slash));
     std::cout << "locale with modified numpunct: " << 1234.5678 << '\n';
 }

Output:
 default locale: 1234.5678
 locale with modified numpunct: 1234/5678
