Alignment Issues.....

I wish to make a program that gives computations for a water bill for various respective companies.

The programs runs fine, I just want to format it to where my outputs are right justified to make it look nicer.

code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>#include <iomanip>
#include <string>


using namespace std;


    int main()
{
    char name [256];
    char type;
    double gallons;
    double base;
    double fee;
   
    cout << "Please Name/Title: " << endl;
        cin.getline(name, 256);


    cout << "Please insert customer type: \n (R= Resident) \n (B= Business) \n (G= Govt.) \n (N= NonProfit): " << endl;
        cin >> type;
   
    cout << "Please enter number of gallons used: " << endl;
        cin >> gallons;


    cout << fixed << right << setprecision(2) << showpoint;
    cin.setf(ios::right);


    cout << name << endl;


    cout << "Gallons Used: " << setw(10) << setfill('.') << "  " << right << gallons << endl;


    switch (type)
    {
  case 'R':
    base = 15.00;
        if (gallons > 1000)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 1000) * .02;
        }
    break;
  case 'B':
    base = 25.00;
        if (gallons > 2000)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 2000) * .03;
        }
    break;
  case 'G':
    base = 5.00;
        if (gallons > 500)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 500 ) * .01;
        }
    break;


    case 'N':
    base = 5.00;
        if (gallons > 500)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 500 ) * .01;
        }
    break;


    case 'r':
    base = 15.00;
        if (gallons > 1000)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 1000) * .02;
        }
    break;
    case 'b':
    base = 25.00;
        if (gallons > 2000)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 2000) * .03;
        }
    break;
    case 'g':
    base = 5.00;
        if (gallons > 500)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 500 ) * .01;
        }
    break;


    case 'n':
    base = 5.00;
        if (gallons > 500)
        {
                fee = (gallons - 500 ) * .01;
        }
    break;
}


    cout << "Water base fee: "  << setfill('.')  << setw(8)  << "$ " << right << base << endl;


    cout << "Water usage fee: " << setfill('.') << setw(7)  << "$ "  << right << fee <<endl;


    cout << "Sewage base fee: " << setfill('.') << setw(7)  << "$ "  << right << base << endl;


    cout << "Sewage usage fee: " << setfill('.') << setw(6) << "$ "  << right << fee * .8 << endl;


    cout << "Total due: " << setfill('.') << setw(13)  << "$ " << right << (base * 2) + fee + (fee * .8) << endl;
   
    cin.get();
    cin.get();
   
return 0;
}

i would like the output to show as so:

Gallons used ................ 100000
Water base fee ..............$ 5.00
Water usage fee .........$ 995.00
Sewage base fee ............$ 5.00
Sewage usage fee .......$ 796.00
Total due .................$ 1801.00

(aligned, of course)

any help would be appreciated

Read through How to format output C++ - FAQ. Looks like you know of the iomanip library, just maybe not all the members? Additionally, unless required by your assignment, you should be using std::string instead of C style char arrays. Also, you should indent your code properly.
