Formatting C++ output text

[Sophia Olivas]

is there a way to make the cout statement produce bold text?

example output:

Select 1 for Checking Account

I want the 1 to appear bold.

Thanks!

I am new to this programming thing with C++ sorry if the question seems elementary.

cout does not format text for display in any way shape or form. It's sole job is to send the data to standard output and what happens to it after that is of no concern to it.

Rendering text as bold would be part of the terminal or windowing system displaying that text.

In c++...there is nothing that you can write a letter in bold.But you can use graphics to implement your idea you are using switch case isn't it? Just show the menu using initgraph() function...go to compiler and do right click ,where u write initgraph.There you can find the thing.
