please help! i am VERY new at this. why are the cout statements printing horizontally and the cin statements printing vertically?
here is my code for this part:
cout << "apples\t" << "bananas\t" << "oranges\n";
cin >> apples; cin >> bananas; cin >> oranges;
it prints on the screen like this:
apples bananas oranges
10
20
30
i want it to line up like this:
apples bananas oranges
10 20 30
thanks for any help!
cin doesnt really print anything. It is the console that prints out what you write, but if you want to you can actually try to write it in as you want it: instead of writing
10
20
30
in to your program when you should do that, try writing
10 20 30
the result should be the same.
It doesnt have anything to do with how it looks like in code: for example this statement:
will printCode:cout << "apples\t" << "oranges\t" << "bananas";
apples oranges bananas
STL Util a small headers-only library with various utility functions. Mainly for fun but feedback is welcome.
in my program i'm asking the user to enter how many of each fruit they are buying. my problem is i want what they enter to be printed across instead of down. is there any way i can do that?
As I said:
if the user prints in
10
20
30
or if he prints in
10 20 30
doesnt make a difference, cin will treat them both equally. Otherwise you would have to rely on some OS-dependand stuff.

as soon as i type 10 for apples and press Enter, the cursor automatically goes down to the next line...so i can't enter them side by side. my assignment requires that they appear side by side though.
Don't press enter. Press space. Press enter at the end after the 30.
Yes, that's what enter does. It goes to the beginning of the next line. If you want them seperated by spaces (horizontally) then seperate them by spaces. I don't know why you'd want to restrict your user to something like that, but if you did, it wouldn't be too difficult, you just have to check to make sure the character after each input is a space not a '\n'.Originally Posted by beachbum58
