#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
double price = 1; //stores the starting price
double yearInt = 1; //stores the yearly interest
double monthInt; //will store monthly interest once yearly interest is added
double payment = 1; //stores how much is paid per month
double month = 1; //month counter
double paidInt; //displays how much interest was paid
double paidPrice; //displays how much of loan was paid off after interest
double balance ; //displays balance after payment is made
double remBalance;
{
cout << "Please enter the dollar amount of the loan: $";
cin >> price;
cout << "Please enter the yearly rate of interest: ";
cin >> yearInt;
cout << "Please enter the monthly payment made: $";
cin >> payment;
cout << "Month Principle Interest Paid Principle Paid Remaining Balance" < 0)
{
month++;
paidInt = balance * monthInt;
paidPrice = payment - paidInt;
remBalance = balance - paidPrice;
cout << month << setw(6) << " "<< balance << setw(6)<< " "<< paidInt << setw(6) << " "<< paidPrice << setw(6) << " "<< remBalance << endl;
balance = remBalance;
}
cout << "Number of months to pay off loan: " << month << endl;
cout << "Total interest paid on loan: " << endl;
cout << "You have a credit of: " << remBalance << endl;
}
}
At the moment I'm using the setw manipulator. When the program prints, it looks like this:
Please enter the dollar amount of the loan: $400
Please enter the yearly rate of interest: 20
Please enter the monthly payment made: $20

26.00 10.47 0.17 19.83 -9.36
Number of months to pay off loan: 26.00
Total interest paid on loan:
You have a credit of: -9.36
Press any key to continue . . .
I am aware I can just change setw to a higher number to make it look nicer, but I want to do more than that. If you look at where the 10th month is, the whole line is indented a little bit and doesnt line up properly with the above lines. I am also concerned that if the user enters numbers with more digits, the output won't line up properly either.
How can I make it so that everything will line up nicely, no matter what (within reason) the user enters?
Thanks a lot for any help.
