Need Help! Formatting issue!

[bradtourt]

This is my code, I have a formatting issue with day one being moved over, can anyone help me out? thank you!


#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()


{

srand(1);

srand(time(0));


float salary = 0, bonus = 0, totalpay = 0;
int days = 0, salary2;

salary = rand() % 6 + 1;
salary = salary / 100;
days = rand() % 31;
totalpay = salary;

cout << "Starting salary: " << salary << endl
<< "Days worked: " << days << endl
<< "************************************" << endl
<< setw(30) << "Daily Salary" << setw(30) << "Amount Earned" << setw(30) << endl;

for (int d = 0; d < days; d++)
{

cout << "Day " << d + 1 << ":" << '\t'
<< fixed << setprecision(2) << setw(18) << salary << '\t'
<< setw(18)<< (totalpay+bonus) << endl;

salary *= 2;

if ((d+1) % 5 == 0)
bonus = salary * 10;
else
bonus = 0.00;

totalpay += salary;



}



return 0;
}

This is the output

Starting salary: 0.02
Days worked: 20

cout << setw(0) << "Day " << d + 1 << ":" << '\t' << fixed << setprecision(2) << setw(18) << salary << '\t' << setw(18) << (totalpay+bonus) << endl;

[Chervil]

Here (line 29 or so),
<< setw(30) << endl;
the setw serves no purpose. Remove it.

In general, it's probably better to avoid using the tab character '\t' whenever you are seriously concerned with formatting.

Regarding the calculations, some of the values can easily exceed the limited precision of type float (about 7 decimal digits). Use double instead (about 15 decimal digits).
