Thread: Formatting Output

I am trying to format the results of my program into five different columns of an equal number. For example, my program generates 50 random numbers and I am trying to print them out in sets of ten. Here is my code from my main function. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated

int main(void)
{
int grades[50];
float rank[50]={0};
int x, anotherrecord;

do
{
randFill(grades);
sortDescend(grades);
rankCalc(grades, rank);
for(x=0;x<50;x++)
{
printf("%d - Rank:",grades[x]);
printf("%3.1f\n", rank[x]);
}

printf("\n Press 1 to generate another random sample: ");
scanf("%d", &anotherrecord);
}
while (anotherrecord == 1);

return 0;
}

[code]

for(x=0;x<50;x++)
{
printf("%d - Rank:",grades[x]);
printf("%3.1f\n", rank[x]);
if( x % 10 == 0) printf("\n");

}

Ive had to log in to edit my answer.

Code:

for(x=0;x<50;x++) 
{ 
    printf("%d - Rank:",grades[x]); 
    printf("%3.1f   ", rank[x]);    /* note spaces  - no \n*/
    if(x % 10 == 0) printf("\n");
}

I now am faced with one more problem. They are formatted in sets of ten, but I need the output to be across the screen not down the screen.

My output currently looks like this

10
10
10

10
10
10

and so on. It should look like

10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10

I am going to try and figure out how to do this, but if someone has experience with it and can help me it would be appreciated

If what u want is to format across columns something like this:

col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
1 11 21 31 41
2 12 22 32 42
.. .. .. .. ..

then something like the below pgm cud work. check it out

--------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int x[50], i = 0, j = 0;

for(i = 0; i <= 49; i++)
{
x[i] = i; /*initialize the array */
}

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
for(j = 0; j < 5; j++) /* print in 5 columns */
{
printf("element = (%d) \t" , x[i + j*10]);
}
printf("\n"); /* go to the next row */
}

return 0;
}
