Hi there,

I'm not a 100% sure what you're asking, but if you need to outline things to the right, you'll probably want to have a look at: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ios/right/

Note that there is also a: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ios/left/

All the best,

ive looked at that already and the problem is that is for a long list or strings or numbers that are in the same line statement

i am trying to print each star one at a time with it printing to the left :\
