iomanip and setw

[owenkmc]

This is the code I have

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;
void main()
{
	ifstream fin;
	struct { int chronum; string pname; int next; } plist[50], temp;
	int n=0, bottom, imax, i, j;
	fin.open("prez.dat");
	fin>>plist[n].pname;  //reads in the first prez name
	while (!fin.eof())
	{
		plist[n].chronum=n+1;  //sets the value of the chronum to the position he was in office
		n++;  //increments n to the next number for the next prez
		fin>>plist[n].pname;  //reads in the next prez and sets in in slot [n].  note...last n is 44

		/*sort via selectmax sort*/
	}
	for
		(bottom= n-1; bottom>0; bottom--)
	{
		imax=0;
		for(i=1; i<= bottom; i++)
			if (plist[i].pname > plist[imax].pname)
				imax=i;
		temp = plist[imax];
		plist[imax] = plist[bottom];
		plist[bottom] = temp;
	} 

	cout<<setw(15)<<"Location"<<setw(15)<<"Chronum"<<setw(30)<<"President's name"<<setw(15)<<"Pointer"<<endl;
	for(i = 0; i<=43; i++)
	{
		if(plist[i].chronum == n)		//If pres is Obama set next to -1
		{
			plist[i].next = -1;	
		} 
		else
		{
			for(int j=0; j<=43; j++)		// loop through the list of presidents 
			{
				if(plist[j].chronum == plist[i].chronum+1) // for every president loop through the list again and find the president  that comes after him
				{
					plist[i].next = j;		// set next to the location of the president after him		
				}
			}
		}
		
		cout<<setw(15)<< i <<setw(15)<<plist[i].chronum <<setw(30)<<plist[i].pname <<setw(15)<<plist[i].next << endl;	
	}


}

and here is my output
