Hello. I would like to save space in my coding by having a custom-defined tab and space characters. I once had an example of a way to do this, but I forgot and I cannot find another example anywhere on the Internet. The following is an illustration of my idea:
cout<<"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHELLO";
v.
cout<<tab(9)<<"HELLO";
Both lines would have the same output, only the second line would be easier to code and friendlier to space-saving say if you wanted 100 tabs. I think I would be able to figure out how to do the same for space, "-", etc. if someone could show me how to do this tab example.
I thought I remember something like: typdef char tab[] = ' '; or something similar.
Thank you very much for the help; this will be a lifesaver because at one point in my program, I have like 13 tabs and >100 "-" (dashes). Thanks again!
