    Unhappy help with alignment

    I need some help getting three different cout lines to align.
    the first two lines are:
    sum average product
    ----- ---------- ---------
    and the third line is were the variables go. My program runs and the variables work, but I can't get the white space to line up...

    any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Bigb1999

    Use <iomanip>

    cout << setw(10) << "test" << endl << setw(7) << 10 << endl;
