Thread: Output in columns

I have a program that computes basically a bouncy ball inside a fixed area, and if it has direct collision with stationary object it prints the collision info in a file... I have all the logic done but i want to get it to write the information in colums:

Number of moves to generate=100
Moving Object: x=1 y=8 x_movement=-1 y_movement=1
Stationary Object: x=1 y=10

Collision:1 Move:2 Location:2,5 Direction:5,2
Collision:2 Move:58 Location:4,2 Direction:2,3

A total of 2 collisions occurred in 100 moves.


However i keep getting my first row, pushed over like this :

Collision:1 Move:2 Location:2,5 Direction:5,2
Collision:2 Move:58 Location:4,2 Direction:2,3


How can i fix it ? Im using the setw(x) and it should work??

Code:

if ((nextx==statx)&&(nexty==staty)){	// Direct collision
				
					collisions++;
					
					string loc, dir;
					loc= currentx + "," + currenty;
					dir= movx + "," + movy;
					
					output << left;
					output  << setw(10) << "Collision:" << setw(10) << collisions   
					   << "Move:"  << setw(10) << step << "Location:" << setw(10) << loc
					   <<  "Direction:" << setw(10) << dir << endl;
					   
					movx=-movx;
					movy=-movy;
					
					nextx=currentx+movx;
					nexty=currenty+movy;
