I'm trying to print a list in C that lines up the index of the list and a colon to the ouput as follows:
...
8 : SOME STUFF
9 : MORE STUFF
10 : MORE STUFF BUT LESS PADDING
...
100: MORE STUFF BUT NO PADDING
...
I'm currently using:
printf("$%d", index);
printf(":"): // this is the line that needs changing
printf(" some stuff");
int array[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 42, 999 };
enum { NUM_ARRAY = sizeof( array ) / sizeof( array[ 0 ] ) };
for ( int i = 0; i < NUM_ARRAY; ++i ){
printf( "%-3d: sometext\n", array[ i ] );
}
This is a for-loop through an array. Every array-item will be printed with a padding of three.
Output:
1 : sometext
2 : sometext
3 : sometext
4 : sometext
5 : sometext
6 : sometext
7 : sometext
42 : sometext
999: sometext
