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

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.
