    Question Columns in a console out...

    Hey Guys,

    Newbie here. I have written a little program as specified by our teacher. I just need to know how to get it into columns of 10. I tried with a for loop and modulus, but it only spaces them and doesn't do it vertically.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Code:
    double alpha[50];
    int i,a;
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        
        for (i =0; i < 25; i++)
        {
              alpha[i]=i*i;  
                    cout << alpha[i] << endl;
            }
         for (a=0; a < 50; a ++)
           {
              
                    alpha[a]=a*3;
            cout << alpha[a]<<endl;
          }

    Thanks again,
    -Scott

    For starters, you should indent your code properly, declaring variables near first use, e.g.,
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
        using namespace std;
        double alpha[50];
    
        for (int i = 0; i < 25; ++i)
        {
            alpha[i] = i * i;
            cout << alpha[i] << endl;
        }
    
        for (int a = 0; a < 50; ++a)
        {
            alpha[a] = a * 3;
            cout << alpha[a]<<endl;
        }
    }
    Next, in a new program, create an array of 100 integers, from 0 to 99. Then, use your modulus idea to print them out in columns of 10. After you have done this, apply what you have discovered to your current program.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
