    Multiplication table

    Problem
    Develop a C++ Program that prints out an N by N multiplication table.
    The program should first ask for the value of N and then prints
    out the desired multiplication table. The value of N should only be
    from 2 to 15. Whenever the value entered is outside the range,
    the program should print the message:

    invalid value, please enter a number from 2 to 15 only.


    Sample Run
    --------------------------------------------------

    Enter a value of N : 10

    Code:
          1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
       .----------------------------------------
     1 |  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
     2 |  2   4   6   8  10  12  14  16  18  20
     3 |  3   6   9  12  15  18  21  24  27  30
     4 |  4   8  12  16  20  24  28  32  36  40
     5 |  5  10  15  20  25  30  35  40  45  50
     6 |  6  12  18  24  30  36  42  48  54  60
     7 |  7  14  21  28  35  42  49  56  63  70
     8 |  8  16  24  32  40  48  56  64  72  80
     9 |  9  18  27  36  45  54  63  72  81  90
    10 | 10  20  30  40  50  60  70  80  90 100
    All I have is this

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    double number;
    double counter = 0;
    
    cout<<"Enter a number from 2 to 15 ";
    cin>>number;
    
    if (number > 15.00 || number < 2.00)
    {
    cout<<"invalid value, please enter a number from 2 to 15 only.";
    }
    else 
    {
    	while (counter < number)
    	{
    	counter++;
    	cout<<counter<<" * "<<number<<" = "<<number*counter<<"\n";
        }
    }
    }
    How can I print it like I table??

    Code:
    for ( i = 1 ; i <=n ; i++ )
      for ( j = 1 ; j <=n ; j++ )
    Maybe for better readability, call your loop variables "row" and "col"
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    You don't need to use doubles either. Ints should be perfectly fine.

    To align columns you might need the setw stream manipulator.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    IO manipulators.

    For example to print a table of random numbers:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <cstdlib>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 10; ++j) {
                cout << setw(5) << rand()&#37;1000;
            }
            cout << '\n';
        }
    }
    I might be wrong.

    then do it the hard way -
    print a space first if the number is less than 10
