how to print the output from right to left

[wrz234]

example:

printf("Result");
printf("123\n");
printf("1234\n");
printf("12345\n");

the result will be

Result
123
1234
12345

If i want to make the output to be like

 123
 1234
12345

Can anyone guide me?

Yes.
printf("$20s", "a string");

            a string

It's right-aligned with spaces if it isn't 20 or more chars long. You can use a - sign for a left-align.

:) okok.

Hmm...... just input the spaces before the numbers and align them the way you want.

printf("Result");
printf("     123\n");
printf("   1234\n");
printf(" 12345\n");

but if you stored the numbers in a variable(for e.g result) then use:

printf("Result:  %5d",result);

then you.ll have all outputs frm 'result' left-aligned... try it let me knw if ya still hve problem.

@ManuAizen,
1.

just input the spaces before the numbers and align them the way you want.

Yes, let's write specific code that can only be used in certain cases
2. I already said that. Also, you can use a temporary string or number for the variable.
3. It does not left align it. It right-aligns it. You have to put "%-5d" for a left-align.

I should have mentioned that this works for all the formats that printf() (actually, vsprintf()) accepts.

@ chrisname,

hmm, yes indeed, sorry i forgot but the ' - '. my mistake.
