I'm trying to get my output to look like this:
size time1 time2
-------------------------------
10 4 8
100 48 16
1000 2937 922
10000 123011 3902
100000 22407380 830722
And I know I need to use setw()
, setfill()
, and left
. However, my attempts keep giving me incorrect output. Here is one example of my code:
std::cout << "size" << std::setw(20) << "time" << std::setw(20) << "time2\n";
std::cout << std::setfill('-') << std::setw(60) << "-" << std::endl;
run = 10;
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
std::cout << run;
run *= 10;
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time1[i];
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time2[i] << "\n";
}
And here's the output:
size time1 time2
------------------------------------------------------------
103-------------------13------------------
100171-----------------199-----------------
100013183---------------667-----------------
10000670130--------------8205----------------
10000014030798-------------1403079888---------
I've tried changing the order that I'm using setw()
, setfill()
, and left
, but I'm just flying blind right now. I've also searched iomanip tutorials. I'm following the directions--as far as I can tell--but I'm still not getting it.
How do I stop the setfill()
from running over? How do I justify left but use setw()
to stop the numbers from running into each other?
setw: Setw function sets the field width or number of characters that are to be displayed before a particular field. Setfill: Setfill function is used to fill the stream with char type c specified as a parameter.
The setfill() method of iomanip library in C++ is used to set the ios library fill character based on the character specified as the parameter to this method. Parameters: This method accepts c as a parameter which is the character argument corresponding to which the fill is to be set.
It is used to sets c as the stream's fill character.
How about:
std::cout << "size" << std::setw(20) << "time" << std::setw(20) << "time2\n";
std::cout << std::setfill('-') << std::setw(60) << "-" << std::endl;
run = 10;
std::cout << std::setfill(' '); //fill with spaces
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << run; // fill the run column
run *= 10;
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time1[i];
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time2[i] << "\n";
}
sj0h's answer is great except the titles don't quite line up. To fix it I started the title line with "left" and "setw", I also had to end with "endl" instead of "\n".
std::cout << std::left << std::setw(20) << "size" << std::setw(20) << "time" << std::setw(20) << "time2" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::setfill('-') << std::setw(60) << "-" << std::endl;
run = 10;
std::cout << std::setfill(' '); //fill with spaces
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << run; // fill the run column
run *= 10;
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time1[i];
std::cout << std::setw(20) << std::left << time2[i] << std::endl;
}
