I'm trying to use printf to get the following programmatic output:
- 20
- 15
- 10
- 5
0
+ 5
+ 10
+ 15
+ 20
The key specifications are:
- The field width is always 4
- The sign is always left-justified
- The number is always right-justified
- The zero has no sign
So far I have not been able to come up with a printf statement that will give me the desired results. The closest I have is:
for(int i = -20; i <= 20; i+=5)
{
printf("%-+4d \n", i);
}
which produces:
-20
-15
-10
-5
+0
+5
+10
+15
+20
Is there a way to do this without having to do any cumbersome string manipulation?
