If you need properly aligned numbers (if I got you), then try

C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
  int noofpotato=1;
  int day=1;
  int month=1;

  while(month<=12)
  {
    printf("Month:%2d\tDay:%4d\t Potato:%d\n",month,day,noofpotato);
    ++month;
    day*=2;
  }
  return 0;
}

and if I want the digits to be printed in 'left alignment'?
for eg:
9
10
100
11232

Solution 2

you can do something like right padding as below

C++

printf("Month:%6d\t\t Day:%6d\t\t Potato:%d\n",month,day,noofpotato);

Output:

Month:     1		 Day:     1		 Potato:1
Month:     2		 Day:     2		 Potato:1
Month:     3		 Day:     4		 Potato:1
Month:     4		 Day:     8		 Potato:1
Month:     5		 Day:    16		 Potato:1
Month:     6		 Day:    32		 Potato:1
Month:     7		 Day:    64		 Potato:1
Month:     8		 Day:   128		 Potato:1
Month:     9		 Day:   256		 Potato:1
Month:    10		 Day:   512		 Potato:1
Month:    11		 Day:  1024		 Potato:1
Month:    12		 Day:  2048		 Potato:1

Then you can try -6

printf("Month:%-6d\t\t Day:%-6d\t\t Potato:%d\n",month,day,noofpotato);
