Right Justifying output

I need help with right justifying some text. What I want to do is output something like this:

Code:

One          Two              Three
1              $  4.99         $    3.98
2              $ 34.56         $  905.30

What problem I'm having is that the code is not right justifying like how I want it to in this program. The numbers are variable as they are calculated based on input from the user.

I tried flagging cout as such:

Code:

cout.setf(ios::adjustfield | ios::right);

and

Code:

cout.setf(ios::right);

to try and get this output. Either way didn't work. I believe it works without the $ sign, but not with. Is there a way to get the desired output?

Thanks.

Edit: It does work without the $ sign, but the needs to be there as it is part of the output that the assignment calls for. Thanks.

Does this help:

post again if you don't get it going

It's still not outputting right.

I have these lines:

Code:

cout.setf(ios_base::right, ios_base::basefield);
   cout.setf(ios_base::adjustfield);

and these lines:

Code:

 cout << "Company" << "     " << "Beginning Balance"
      << "     " << "Service Fees" << "     " << "New Balance";
   cout << endl;
   
   cout << setw(4) << "1" << setw(12) << "$ " << balanceCo1
      << setw(14) << "$ " << serviceFeesCo1 << setw(12) << "$ " << newBalanceCo1;
   cout << endl;
   
   cout << setw(4) << "2" << setw(12) << "$ " << balanceCo2
      << setw(14) << "$ " << serviceFeesCo2 << setw(12) << "$ " << newBalanceCo2;
   cout << endl;

or

Code:

cout << setw(4) << 1 << setw(12) << "$ ";
   cout << balanceCo1;
   cout << setw(14) << "$ ";
   cout << serviceFeesCo1;
   cout << setw(12) << "$ ";
   cout << newBalanceCo1;
   cout << endl;
   
   cout << setw(4) << 2 << setw(12) << "$ ";
   cout << balanceCo2;
   cout << setw(14) << "$ ";
   cout << serviceFeesCo2;
   cout << setw(12) << "$ ";
   cout << newBalanceCo2;
   cout << endl;

doesn't give me the desired output. Thanks.

What's it coming out like that's wrong? An example of the output would be nice.

Try shorting your code down to the section that's giving you grief, and post a compilable example here. As it stands, I don't know what variable types we're dealing with etc.

I'll probably just forget the $ signs.

Thanks, I'll figure it out sometime else. I don't really have the time to fix the program. You could delete this thread now if you'd like.

Well, even if you can't be bothered, I can. Is this what you want:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
  float balanceCo1 = 1.1, 
        serviceFeesCo1 = 12.2, 
        newBalanceCo1 = 113.3, 
        balanceCo2 = 224.4, 
        serviceFeesCo2 = 335.5,
        newBalanceCo2 = 446.6;

  cout.precision (2);
  cout.setf(ios_base::right, ios_base::basefield);
  cout.setf(ios_base::fixed, ios_base::floatfield);
  
  cout << setw(4) << 1 << setw(12) << "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << balanceCo1;
  cout << setw(14)<< "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << serviceFeesCo1;
  cout << setw(12)<< "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << newBalanceCo1;
  cout << endl;

  cout << setw(4) << 2 << setw(12) << "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << balanceCo2;
  cout << setw(14) << "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << serviceFeesCo2;
  cout << setw(12) << "$ ";
  cout << setw(8) << newBalanceCo2;
  cout << endl;
}
