Loop Help Needed

[JWHooper]

Write a program that displays the following table (note that 1 mile is 1.609 kilometers):

code:

Miles           Kilometers 1               1.609 2               3.218 ... 9               14.481 10              16.09

.

.

.


I tried my own code for this:

code:

#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; int main() {         cout << "Miles" << setw(17) << "Kilometers\n\n";         for (int mi = 1; mi <= 10; mi += 1)         {                 double km = mi * 1.609;                                 cout << left;                 cout << mi << setw(16) << km << endl;         }         return 0; }

But, the result was:

code:

Miles        Kilometers 11.609 23.218 ... 914.481 1016.09

Can anyone revise and edit my code in terms of basic C++ language terms (not advanced or anything)? If anyone can, I would be appreciated.


Thanks,

J.

I haven't tried it but it should work

code:

#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; int main() {    cout << "Miles" << setw(17) << "Kilometers\n\n";    for (int mi = 1; mi <= 10; mi += 1)    {       double km = mi * 1.609;             cout << left;       cout << mi << "             " << km << endl;    }    return 0; }

Okay. I'll try this on my compiler a little later.

this what you wanted?

You should set the width for the first "column" to 2 to get proepr alignment.

Almost, but I wanted to make the 10 miles column look perfect, too.

setw aligns to the left, use it on the first column instead of teh second. Problem solved!
