Formatting output

[shilpichaudhry]

Can anybody tell me how I can format my ouput in C++.
I want the output to be like this:

First name Last name

Mickey Mouse
Donald Duck
Steve Wonder

Thanks, Shilpi

What about the following:

void PrintNames( char* szFirst[], char* szLast[], int iCount )
{
for ( int i = 0; i < iCount; i++ )
{
cout << szFirst[i] << " " << szLast[i] << endl;
}
}

void main( void )
{
char* szFirst[] = { "Donald", "Mickey" };
char* szLast[] = { "Duck", "Mouse" };

PrintNames( szFirst, szLast, sizeof ( szFirst ) / sizeof ( char* ) );
}

It is assumed that sizeof ( szFirst ) is equal to sizeof ( szLast ).

I hope that helps...

Thanks for ur reply, but I am not sure whether that would halp because I have an array of structres and the first name and last name are two attributes of the structure., I need to print all the first names and last names.
Thanks, Shilpi

is that, what You want?

/////////////////
// data-structure
/////////////////

struct SInfo
{
	char szFirstName[200];
	char szLastName[200];
};

/////////////////
// print-func
/////////////////

void PrintOut(SInfo* poInfo, int iInfoCount)
{
	for (int n = 0; n < iInfoCount; n++)
	{
		cout << poInfo[n].szFirstName << "\t" << poInfo[n].szLastName << "\n";
	}
}

/////////////////
// main
/////////////////

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	const int INFOCOUNT = 3;

	SInfo aoInfo[INFOCOUNT] = 
	{
		{"Mickey", "Mouse"},
		{"Donald", "Duck"},
		{"Steve", "Wonder"}
	};

	PrintOut(aoInfo, INFOCOUNT); // formatted printing
	return 0;
}

Output:

Mickey	Mouse
Donald	Duck
Steve	Wonder

Well...Eisenbart showed you the basic principle...so it would not be much different for an array of structures...

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

struct Name
{
  std::string strFirst;
  std::string strLast;
};

int main()
{
  std::vector<Name> vecNames;

  // Add names to vector etc.

  // Print out names
  for(std::vector<Name>::iterator iter = vecNames.begin();
      iter != vecNames.end();
      ++iter)
    std::cout << iter->strFirst << " " << iter->strLast << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Thanks for ur reply.
If I use "\t" or " ", this is the kind of output that I get.

First name Last name
Mickey Mouse
Donald Duck

I had tried that earlier,
