Hello Wise Monks, I am having trouble getting four variables to printf their numeric counts to the screen - all right aligned. Right now they are all left aligned (I have tried with and without -s). Here is my code:
printf ( "%-16s $FreqP \n" , "Freq(Z+):") ; printf ( "%-16s $FreqN \n" , "Freq(Z-):") ; printf ( "%-16s $FreqZ \n" , "Freq(0):") ; printf ( "%-16s $Sum \n" , "Total:") ;
I have also tried this way:
#printf ( "Freq(Z+): %16d\n" , $FreqP) ; #printf ( "Freq(Z-): %16d\n" , $FreqN) ; #printf ( "Freq(0): %16d\n" , $FreqZ) ; #printf ( "Total: %19d\n" , $Sum) ;
Thank you for ANY input! -Steven
