    for loop!

    Code:
     
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main ()
    {
        int num=1,sqr=1,cube=1,pow;
        printf(" NUMBER    SQUARE    CUBE\n");
        printf(" ======    ======    =====\n");
        for(num=1; num<=10; num++)
        { 
             printf("   %d          %d        %d\n",num,num*num,num*num*num);
        }
        system ("pause");
        return 0;
    }
    how can i get the output to be in a straight line from top to bottom?

    Your query is not very clear, what do you mean exactly? That is different from what should happen already? do you mean all the columns evenly 'left justified' ? Try using a \t to output a tabspace after each value in the line.

    If I understand your somewhat vague question correctly, you wish you have the output like so:

    Code:
    NUMBER    SQUARE    CUBE
    ======    ======    ====
         1         1       1
         2         4       8
         3         9      27
    etc.
    To accomplish this, look at the format specifiers for the string you feed to the printf function:

    printf reference

    You will want to look at the part that goes in front of the format specifiers to be precise, in particular the width sub-specifier.

    If you on the other hand wish to have the output left justified, this can also be done by looking it up at that particular reference.

    Is this supposed to be C++? ...Or C?
