    Correct Way To Use GoTo (x,y)?

    Hi, I'm fairly new to Programming, currently taking my first course in it. For one of the assignments I have to do, I'm using nested loops to find the safe stopping distance of a car based on it's given speed and reaction time. And I need to print the information I find in a table, like such:

    10mph 20mph 30mph
    1sec x x x
    2sec x x x
    3sec x x x

    I've got all the code to find the info, but I don't understand the right way to use a goto(x,y) to plot the information corectly. Any help would be appreciated,

    Thanks!

    There is no correct way to use a goto(x,y), because there is no such thing as goto(x,y). You need to print your table a row at a time.

    You might rather need to format the output, determining how long the fields are and how they are aligned, in case of doubles specify the precision etc.

    E.g with the printf function.
    I might be wrong.

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