Hello i'm new to C and have some confusion Regarding fprintf
I'm trying to create a Data table and i want it to look exactly like this:
Rectangle A Rectangle B
SW corner Height Width SW corner Height Width
Most of my confusion is coming from the white spaces, surely there is a better way than just adding an empty String.
You can use width specifier:
printf("[%5d] [%-5d]\n", 42, 42);
You can give a field width with the format specifier:
printf( "%20s", str );
You can also make contents left- or right-aligned within that field, and many other things. It's really worth checking out the details of the documentation: man printf
printf has lots of options, is this what you had in mind?
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
char *label1="Rectangle A";
char *label2="Rectangle B";
printf("%-31s%-31s\n",label1,label2);
printf("SW corner Height Width SW corner Height Width\n");
}
