Thread: printf formatting issue

I've written a program which takes a character string and then prints each character vertically so that for instance the string 123 can be written as
1
2
3
no what i need is for all the numbers from zero to the inputted number to print the numbers digits vertically but each number to be printed horizontally so that for instance an input of 11 prints
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 1
0 1

i've made it so that i can print all numbers up to the inputted number vertically; however, i am stuck with a method for making each number print horizontally as described above.

Any thoughts?

Don't print '\n' in every iteration. Instead add a space to the format string or use a width specifier for even spacing.

Code:

printf("%d ", number);
//or
printf("%4d", number);

Write it out step by step, by hand, on paper to try to figure out the algorithm first.

If the number is greater than or equal to 10, how many spaces do you want to print out first in the second line?

There's a solution in there that correlates well with your data. Your job, as a programmer, is to find and implement that solution.

If you have specific questions along the way, post your code (in code tags) and ask them.

Best of luck.

(P.S. If you're not familiar with the modulus operator, then do some research to help you along the way.)
