    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello,
    I have to use a width modifier in the following program.

    #include <stdio.h>

    main ()

    {

    printf("%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s\n",

    "Parrots","Rams", "Kings", "Titans", "Chargers");

    printf("%10d%10d%10d%10d%10d\n", 3,5,2,1,0);
    printf("%10d%10d%10d%10d%10d\n", 2,5,1,0,1);
    printf("%10d%10d%10d%10d%10d\n", 2,6,4,3,0);

    return;

    }

    1.I get an error at the first printf(): String crosses a line?
    2.I cannot get the teams in one column, with the scores
    beneath them. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,

    Adock.

    I also compiled it (except I put in int main, like you're supposed to, and changed it to return 0 instead of return), and it worked just peachy - everything lined up right.

    Hello,
    I've tried your suggestions: int main ()

    return 0;

    The problem still persists.

    I compiled and ran with VC++ 5.0 and it works fine. Must be your Compiler or possibly try this:

    printf("%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s\n",

    "Parrots","Rams", "Kings", "Titans", "Chargers");


    make it one line:

    printf("%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s\n", "Parrots", "Rams", "Kings", "Titans", "Chargers");

    Hello Salem,
    I took your hint, and compiled
    the above successfully with Dev.C++.

    For your info. I was using Miracle C,
    plus Win'98 O/S.

    Thanks for your time and support.

    Adock.
