I'm trying to align multiple variables in a table like output. I am currently using padding but I can not see how to correctly align the output. I print the variables:
printf("\n %15s", name); printf("%15d", level); Then I call the next function repeatedly, all is fine unless there is more than one digit.
printf("%11dhr %.1fmn",t,t2); 
Having the variables defined as int t; and float t2; (or double t2;), as it is now %.1f prints t2 with one digit after the decimal point. This is the precision specifier.
For alignment, you want also to include the width specifier (minimum number of characters to be printed, padded with spaces if less are available). This should include the decimal point and the precision digits. So if the integer part of t2 will fit when printed in 2 characters, you will need to set the width to 4. For the given example, this should work:
printf("%11dhr %4.1fmn", t, t2);
