I need help with my formatting

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this problem. I am taking my first C++ class and I am struggling a little bit.

This is my homework assignment and I cant figure out how to get the format correct. I am able to get most of it correct but the 3 lines with the longer names are not coming out right.

I have used the tutorials on this site, google, my book, etc and i still cant figure it out.

I know that it is a really simple problem but any help would really be appreciated.

        if(fin.peek()=='\n')fin.ignore(); 
        // peek ignores the value of the next byte in the stream
        // without moving the input marker
        // ignore discards the next byte in the stream 
        }// end of while loop
        
         fin.close ();
        fout.close ();



This is what i am getting:

Snow White          1234          100.10      5.00      0.00
Jack Frost          2345.00       500.90     10.00      1.58
Sleeping Beauty         3456.00       600.70     10.00      4.97
Prince Charming       6789.00        55.56      5.00      0.45
Rapunzel Repunzel       7890.00       350.07     10.00      1.21
Santa Claus          8901.00      5456.22     15.00     35.87
Miss Horner         9012.00      9800.23     15.00    121.46





This is what it is supposed to look like:

Your problem you're having is the expected output has the first and last name combined as the full name and takes up a width of 20. You're first name, and last name, take up 5 each. That is about the only problem I see with your code however.
