setw() q.

[tecknophreak]

yeah, my brain don't work, or didn't last night.


cout << setw(10) << "Hello" << setw(10) << "Bye" << endl;


with iomanip, iostream of course, here's the output:
HelloBye

Shouldn't it be
Hello Bye
?

Did I miss something?(feel so stupid) :confused:

[debiandude]

shouldn't it be:

cout << setw(10) << "Hello" << setw(10) << " Bye" << endl;

I mean that gets you the space, other that than I don't do c++ so I don't know what those setw(10)'s are. Set widths possibly?

teck: <-- (aye!? aye!?)

I can't reproduce the problem. Using

#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

int main(void)
{
cout << setw(10) << "Hello" << setw(10) << "Bye" << endl;
return 0;
}

my output is

/home/root/cpp/teck> ./output
Hello Bye


?? Not sure why it would be weird. What version of gcc are you using?

Not sure, just put slack on the comp at home, and of course, i'm at work now. ;) shhh..don't tell nobody. I'll tell you this, it's annoying.

I've got slack 7.1 on disks. I'm not sure what version that is, I'll have to put 3.0 on this weekend. Just checking if I forgot anything. thanx
