Thread: setw(), setiosflags(), etc

can anybody tell me how these work. my book is kinda confusing..and when i do what i think will work ,it just comes out whever it wants to. this is what i have and it doesn't line up like i want it to...in 3 columns.

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>

int main()
{
	int x;
	int y;
	int stockNum[2];
	int quantity[2];
	double Price[2];

	for(x=1;x<3;++x)
	{
		cout<<"Enter Stock Number: ";
		cin>>stockNum[x];
		cout<<"Quantity: ";
		cin>>quantity[x];
		cout<<"Price: ";
		cin>>Price[x];
	}

	cout<<"You Entered: "<<endl<<endl;

	cout<<setiosflags(ios::left)<<"Stock Number";
	cout<<setiosflags(ios::right)<<setw(35)<<"Quantity"
	cout<<setw(40)<<setiosflags(ios::right)<<"Price"<<endl;
	for(y=1;y<3;++y)
		cout<<resetiosflags(ios::left)<<stockNum[y]<<setiosflags(ios::right)<<setw(25)<<quantity[y]<<setprecision(2)<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint | ios::right)<<Price[y]<<endl;
}
