Question about indention

Hello everybody,

I'm new here and also pretty new to the C-language.

Here is the Problem:

I have several floats and I need to print them out, but they should be in one line at the end. But C always prints them with the first number on the same level, so if the numbers are not the same length it doesn't look good. What I need to do is to make the end "levelled".



how can i do that?

thanks a lot

hmm i'm sorry but i still can't figure it out (even with the help of wikipedia)

Use the field width specifier:

printf("%FieldWidthSpecifierNumberf", somefloat);

Perhaps you should use something like this

Code:

---

printf("%.5f", num);

---

This would limt the decimal points up to 5 placs.

Code:

---

The total number of books ordered: 6
The average movie price: $ 595.50
The minimum movie price: $ 45.99
The maximum movie price: $ 2345.77

---

This is the output I get.

But the output should look like this

Code:

---

The total number of books ordered: 3
The average movie price: $ 13.45
The minium movie price:  $  6.55
The maximum movie price: $ 15.95

---

the end should be nicely leveled....

how can i achieve that?

thx for your help

So what is your code to print that?

Code:

---

  printf("The total number of movies ordered: %.0f\n",numbooks);
  printf("The average movie price:\t$ %.2f\n",average);
  printf("The minimum movie price:\t$ %.2f\n",lowest);
  printf("The maximum movie price:\t$ %.2f\n\n",highest);

---

May be this

Code:

---

printf("The average movie price:\t$ %5.2f\n",average);
 printf("The minimum movie price:\t$ %5.2f\n",lowest);
