Question

This is the expected output:

COUNT | WORD 
------+------
   1  | .3
   1  | .3.4
   1  | 3
   2  | 12.34
   1  | test1.12.34
   3  | this

This is my proper code:

std::cout << "COUNT | WORD" << '\n';
std::cout << "------+------" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << ".3" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << ".3.4" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << "3" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "2" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << "12.34" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << "test1.12.34" << '\n';
std::cout << std::setw(4) << "3" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << "this" << '\n';

Unfortunately, my ouput’s messy the WORD

COUNT | WORD
------+------
   1  | .3
   1  |.3.4
   1  |  3
   2  |12.34
   1  |test1.12.34
   2  |this

Could anyone suggest me a solution for that. Thanks

Instead of having

std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << '|' <<  std::setw(3) << ".3" << '\n';

For each line, add a space after the ‘|’ character:

std::cout << std::setw(4) << "1" << std::setw(3) << "| " <<  std::setw(3) << ".3" << '\n';
