Thread: Question about indention

Hello everybody,

I'm new here and also pretty new to the C-language.

Here is the Problem:

I have several floats and I need to print them out, but they should be in one line at the end. But C always prints them with the first number on the same level, so if the numbers are not the same length it doesn't look good. What I need to do is to make the end "levelled".



how can i do that?

thanks a lot

printf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

hmm i'm sorry but i still can't figure it out (even with the help of wikipedia)

Use the field width specifier:

printf("%FieldWidthSpecifierNumberf", somefloat);

Code:

   printf("The total number of movies ordered: %.0f\n",numbooks);
   printf("The average movie price:\t$ %.2f\n",average);
   printf("The minimum movie price:\t$ %.2f\n",lowest);
   printf("The maximum movie price:\t$ %.2f\n\n",highest);

this is the code

thx for any help
