Dumb alignment

Really a silly question but this solution evades me.

---

1 + 1 = 2
10 + 1 = 11
2 + 2 = 4

As you can see, double digits move the entire line one digit to the left, how can I correct this? I presume setw() is needed.

How do you want it to look?

Code:

---

1 + 1 = 2
10 + 1 = 11
 2 + 2 = 4

---

Or?

Code:

---

1 + 1 =  2
10 + 1 = 11
 2 + 2 =  4

---

Code:

---

1 + 1 =  2
10 + 1 = 11
 2 + 2 =  4

:rolleyes:

link to setw()
Is the problem with using setw() or the largest number of digit not known?

I can't get this sorted.

Code:

---

cout << setw( 7 ) << num1 << "  -  " << num2 << setw( 5 ) << "=  ";

---

The above gives me the following:

Code:

---

4  -  3  =  x
14  -  14  =  x
 6  -  2  =  x

---

I make this change which still doesn't work:

Code:

---

cout << right << setw( 7 ) << num1 << "  -  " << num2 << setw( 5 ) << "=  ";

---

Code:

---

10  +  11  =  x
6  +  1  =  x

---

I'd like the subtraction and equal signs in a row in all cases with 1 to two digits but don't know how to get it like that. Help would be appreciated.

Code:

---

10  +  10 =  x
 9  +  1 =  x
 1  +  11 =  x

---

try

Code:

---

cout<<setw(7)<<num1<<" - "<<setw(7)<<num2<<" = ";

---

Got it.

Code:

---

cout << right << setw( 7 ) << num1 << "  -" << setw( 3 ) << num2 << setw( 5 ) << "=  ";

---

Code:

---

<< setw( 5 ) << "=  ";

---

Why? You are using a constent for setw's parameter on a fixed length string....

Dunno, but it works :D

so would

Code:

---

<<"  = ";

---

Guess I see what you mean. This was just a quick refresher project to get me back into the swing of C++. Have not really had a chance to touch it in a while.

Thanks anyhow Thantos
