    Default Output Alignment

    Hello, here I am again. The program is already working but I don't know how to align the output because it is so messed up. Hope you can help me again with this.

    PROGRAM:
    /*
    * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
    * and open the template in the editor.
    */

    package javaapplication1;


    import java.io.*;
    public class MultiDimensionalArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
    String answer;
    String name[] = new String[4];
    int grade[][] = new int[4][3];
    double tg[] = new double[4];

    do{
    for(int x=0;x<name.length;x++)
    {
    System.out.println("Student "+(x+1));
    System.out.print(" Name: ");
    name[x]=br.readLine();

    System.out.print(" PG : ");
    grade[x][0]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
    System.out.print(" MG : ");
    grade[x][1]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
    System.out.print(" FG : ");
    grade[x][2]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

    tg[x]=grade[x][0]*.3+grade[x][1]*.3+grade[x][2]*.4;
    }

    System.out.println("\nSTUDENTS\tPG\tMG\tFG\tTG");
    for(int x=0;x<name.length;x++)
    {
    System.out.print(name[x]+"\t");
    for(int y=0;y<name.length-1;y++)
    {
    System.out.print(grade[x][y]+"\t");
    }
    System.out.println(tg[x]);
    }

    System.out.print("\nWould you like to try again? [Y/N]: ");
    answer=br.readLine();
    }
    while(answer.equalsIgnoreCase("y"));
    }
    }
    OUTPUT:
    Student 1
    Name: Alpha

    Default Re: Output Alignment

    Ok, there is a problem with what you posted, and that problem is the forum doesnt like indenting. Try to post the output as a picture or something so we can see it.


    EDIT:
    I had a look at it. If you mean that crazy wave thing that it does, replace your code with this in the correct place:
    System.out.println("Student "+(x+1));
    				System.out.print(" Name: ");
    				name[x]=br.readLine();
     
    				System.out.print(" PG : ");
    				grade[x][0]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
    				System.out.print("MG : ");
    				grade[x][1]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
    				System.out.print("FG : ");
    				grade[x][2]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
     
    				tg[x]=grade[x][0]*.3+grade[x][1]*.3+grade[x][2]*.4;
    				System.out.println();

    It will unfortunately add an extra line between students, but its the best you could hope for if you want a quick-fix.

    As far as the Table on the bottom, you'll have to double to tab between name and and the start of your grade array. Thats the best I can think of.
