Answer 1

You have read the whole value of the double. The problem is with the cout. It by default rounds the value to 6 digits after the decimal point.

To set the precision cout uses, use setprecision from :

#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main() {
    long double d;
    cin >> d;
    cout << setprecision(10) << d << endl;
    return 0;
}
