Is there any way to use setw() to display a properly aligned table with fixed column widths?

cout <<endl<< "Game" << setw(15) << "Price" << setw(15) << "Discount" << setw(21) << "DiscountPrice" << setw(15) << "Action" << endl;
for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
    cout << games[j].gname << setw(10) << games[j].gprice << setw(10) <<games[j].discountprc<< "%" << setw(10)<<games[j].gprice-(games[j].gprice)*(games[j].discountprc)/100;
}

the output should be

Game          Price       Discount     Discountprice     Action
Stealth         144            75%                36     Buy
..

..

Game name and advised action columns should be aligned to left. Price, discount percentage and discounted price columns should be aligned to right.

Please add the complete expected output to the question, as well as the output that your program produces. – cigien Nov 04 '20 at 16:04

You can use `<< right` to right-align a value (and then `<< left` to revert). – Paul Sanders Nov 04 '20 at 16:09
