Formatting Output

*To format data we can use escape sequences*.
The most common ones are: \n - newline & \t - tab

We can also format the output by using the iomanip library.
Include it as #include .
Once it is included, we can format output using the iomanip library.

For example, we can set the width of an output using the setw command.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "\n\nThe text without any formatting.\n";
    cout << "Ints" << "Floats" << "Doubles" << "\n";
    
    cout << "\nThe text with setw(15)\n";
    cout << "Ints" << setw(15) << "Floats" << setw(15) << "Doubles" << "\n";
    
    cout << "\n\nThe text with tabs\n";
    cout << "Ints\t" << "Floats\t" << "Doubles" << "\n";
    
    return 0;
}

Output will be:



The text without any formating
IntsFloatsDoubles

The text with setw(15)
Ints         Floats        Doubles


The text with tabs
IntsFloatsDoubles
