Thread: Headers for 2D multiplication table array

Hi guys, I've been trying to make a 2D multiplication table array. So far I've got everything down but I need the headers so my times table looks something like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 < Headers
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 2 4 6 8 10

^Headers.

Can someone help me out?

Code:

#include <iostream>

Code:

#include <iomanip>


using namespace std;


int main ()


{
    for (;;) 
    {
        int rows, columns;
        system("title Assignment 1 Multiplication table edoc s'nevets");
        system("cls");
        cout<<"Please enter the number of rows\n"<<endl;
        cin>>rows;
        cout<<"\nPlease enter the number of columns\n"<<endl;
        cin>>columns;
        system("cls");
        
        cout<<endl;


        for (int y = 1; y <= rows; y++)
        { 
            cout<<setw(5);
            for (int x = 1; x <= columns; x++)
            {
                cout<<x*y<<setw(5);
            }
            cout<<endl<<endl;
        }
        cin.get();cin.get();cin.get();
    }
    return 0;
}

Really?

So given an input like columns, you can't write
for ( i = 1 ; i <= columns ; i++ ) cout << i << " ";

The row headings are even simpler.

Presumably, you noticed that the header row is in fact the same as the first row of the results (aka multiplied by 1).
This should have been a clue.

Well you seemed to master the hard part of the problem without any issue, yet came over all "stupid" for the easy part.

Which round these parts usually means someone "found" some code on the net somewhere, then they roll into a forum claiming this, that or the other trying to get us to finish off their assignment without them having to bother with the tedium of learning things or doing the work themselves.

Sorry if I didn't put enough sugar on the reply.

I think in reality, sometimes what comes over as hard comes over as easy for one man, and for another man what comes over easy comes over hard for another.

I'm not sure what you're trying to come off of but telling me to ask questions "the smarter way" for a solution that is so "easy",which I believe, only insults your intelligence.
I may not be acquainted with programming too well... But I'm well aware of the overall atmosphere on any "typical" forum, oh yeah usually it's simple and easy with a hint of assumptions and generalizations here and there, I guess that's why some forums have flame forums. But at least in America as far as I'm aware we like simplification.

And with that, there's no need to make a simplified statement to an already "easy" question in your excellence.

I don't intend or expect anyone to do my "dirty work" for me. Nor do I want you to do my work. I came here to seek guidance from a community of which I thought would be a bunch of helpful and humble folks, and so far my experience hasn't been beneficial. Talk about eye opening then we'll just have to go down another route for "eye opening."

Now with a proper opening... Sure I am a newcomer that so happened to "luck out" on the hard part, yeah I get how it works here and there. But with the headers I don't see what you're saying with your initial response. As soon as I make an alignment in one row my whole table is messed up. cout << i << " "; does not help the situation.

Of course it prints the header but then my multiplication table is no longer what it is.

I can use cout<< to declare the header on top of the rows and the columns but I can't get it to change variably to the user's input

user inputs numbers 5 x 5


* 1 2 3 4 5
1 Array
2 Table
3
4
5

I've tried all that "\t" stuff and as I said before my table just becomes miss-aligned.
