money format and printing in columns

[cathycena]

How do you print in columns (as in like microsoft excel)?

How do you print your numbers in money format? Like with commas every after 3 digits (example: 1,000,000).

Thanks for all you help!

To print in columns you can use the "\t" escape code for tab. As far as inserting commas, I havn't worked in C for a while but this should work for thousands, you can use this as a base.

if (orig_num >= 999)
{
printf("$%d,%d", (orig_num / 1000), (orig_num - ((orig_num / 1000) * 1000)) );
} else {
printf("$%d", orig_num);
}

This doesn't use decimals, but it should be fairly easy to convert. I know this might not be the best way, but like I said, I'm a little out of practice, and this flu is getting to me

Hope this helps,
