    Ouput formatting

    hey, so i am using windows computer and my complier is C++

    i need so that the ouput screen looks like this:

    Our cities include -

    where we have to enter a city in front of city 1 and 2

    this is in accurate
    it should look like the city inputs on one side, and the city list goes on the other side

    but they are both side by side

    Have you considered posting details of your complete requirement in this forum?

    After all, looking at your posts (in this and previous threads) as a set, it appears you are trying to get forum members to do all the work for your project, one step at a time, with no coding effort on your part.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    Code:
    printf("\t\t\t\t\t\tOur cities include - \n\t\t\t\t\t\tOttawa\n\t\t\t\t\t\tToronto\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMontreal\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCalgary\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVancouver\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHalifax\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhitehorse");
        
        printf("Enter city 1: ");
        gets(city1);
        
        printf("Enter city 2: ");
        gets(city2);[/QUOTE]
    gets() is so bad it shouldn't be used. Use fgets(stdin, etc...), instead.
    Check out the C Tutorial button at the top of the forum! Lots of good stuff in that tutorial.

    No code tags?? C'mon!!

    I do get grumpy, consistently and justifiably, with people who need to apply more effort in order to learn and solve problems, but instead treat forums as a means of getting other people to do their work.

    Your posts provide compelling evidence that you fall into that category.
