Making the decimal points line up..

[docnascar]

Me again!

Code: [Select]

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
    double y1, y2, y3;   
       
    //make the data rows LINE UP.... HOW??????? HOW???????????
    y1=99.5;
    y2=9.5;
    y3=999.5;
    printf ("%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\n",y1,y2,y3);   
   
    y1=999.5;
    y2=99.5;
    y3=9.5;
    printf ("%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\n",y1,y2,y3);   

    getchar ();
    getchar ();
 
    return 0;
}


This shows:

Code: [Select]

99.50   9.50    999.50
999.50  99.50   9.50

How do I make the decimal points line up? I guess I want the numbers to right justify???

Its hard to show on the message board.

  2.0   2.0
20.0 20.0

Me again!

me too! 

printf ("%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\t%4.2lf\n",y1,y2,y3)

in the above statement, the 4 is the minimum amount of space, but your numbers are longer, use 7 instead of 4.
(4 digits + 1 decimal place + 2 decimal digits = 7)
