Output not aligned correctly even after using SetW - c++

Question

I want my program to be aligned correctly; I'm using the iomanip (setw) library but I'm still getting the wrong output:
The output I want is:
1001 Butter 9.45 50 100 74
1002 Milk-1L 12.85 100 150 83
1003 Flour-Bak 13.45 210 500 410
The output I'm getting currently is:
1001 Butter 9.45 50 100 74
1002 Milk-1L 12.85 100 150 83
1003 Flour-Bak 13.45 210 500 410
Here is my code:
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
// Function Declaration
void displaymenu();
void Inventory();
void empgrossnet();
void employavgdeduc();
// Size of Array
const int SIZE = 10;
int i;
// Initialize Struct function for Employee Data
struct InventoryData {
int Itemnum;
string Name;
double UnitPrice;
int Minimumlevel;
int Optimumlevel;
int Qtyinstock;
} InventoryItems[SIZE];
// Initialize/Read file into the program
ifstream thefile("i_Data.txt");
int main() {
while (true) {
displaymenu();
}
return 0;
}
void displaymenu() {
int option;
// print menu options and prompt user to enter a menu option
printf("\n***************** Employee Data *******************\n");
printf("[1] Press 1 for Inventory Data Records\n");
printf("[2] Press 2 for Employee Gross and Net Pay\n");
printf("[3] Press 3 for Average Hours and Average Deductions\n");
printf("[4] Exit Program\n");
printf("\n****************************************************\n");
printf("\n Enter an option>>\t");
scanf("%d", &option);
switch (option) {
case 1:
Inventory();
break;
case 4:
printf("\n\n Thank you for using the Program");
printf("\n Exiting Application....");
exit(0);
}
}
void Inventory() {
// Read from edata.txt File
ifstream thefile("i_Data.txt");
// Check to make sure that Program is finding/reading from edata file
if (!thefile) {
cerr << "File can't be opened! " << endl;
system("PAUSE");
exit(1);
}
// Creat loop to store 5 lines of information from edata file
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
thefile >> InventoryItems[i].Itemnum >> InventoryItems[i].Name >>
InventoryItems[i].UnitPrice
>> InventoryItems[i].Minimumlevel >> InventoryItems[i].Optimumlevel >>
InventoryItems[i].Qtyinstock;
}
// Output/Display Edata file information into prgram
printf("\n************************************* EMPLOYEE DATA "
"****************************************\n");
printf("\n %s %15s %20s %15s %15s ", "EmployeeID", "Employee Name",
"Hours Worked", "Rate of Pay", "Deductions");
printf("\n-------------------------------------------------------------------"
"------------------\n");
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].Itemnum;
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].Name;
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].UnitPrice;
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].Minimumlevel;
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].Optimumlevel;
cout << setw(10) << " " << InventoryItems[i].Qtyinstock << endl;
}
printf("\n-------------------------------------------------------------------"
"------------------\n");
}

Answer 1

You seem to want
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].Itemnum;
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].Name;
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].UnitPrice;
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].Minimumlevel;
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].Optimumlevel;
cout <<" " << setw(10) << InventoryItems[i].Qtyinstock<<endl;
Your original code outputs 10 spaces then values. I believe you want single spaces and values in 10-char placeholders.
