Using c++ setw to try to align second column -

i'm trying make sure second column in output aligned , seemed setw solution not matter second column off. output code below...

1> 123 10> 234 

but want be...

1>   123 10>  234 

the other thing can think of number of digits of actual number of elements , index sort of length calc that. seems lot of handling second column right aligned.

i tried << right since i'm printing line line in loop won't make difference

int main() {     int array[2] = {123,234};     int array2[2] = {1, 10};      for(int = 0; < 2; i++){         cout << array2[i] << "> " << setw(4) << array[i] << endl;     }      return 0;  } 

using setw ():

you need set width array2[i] element instead of array[i] element alignment looking for.

cout << setw (2) << array2[i] << "> " << array[i] << endl; 

alternative method 1:

use printf formatted printing here.

printf ("%-2d> %4d\n", array2[i], array[i]); 

%-2d - -2 left aligns integer width 2.

%4d - 4 right aligns integer width 4.

alternative method 2:

use tabs, or \t character.

cout <<  array2[i] << ">\t" << array[i] << endl; 

the \t moves cursor bar next tabstop , end getting data aligned in columns need. not recommend use method because tab widths unpredictable.
