just a small issue with my program...I am finishing it up and the issue I have is I need to make me decimal points line up...the array is up and perfect just need some assistance in setting up the widths

#include <iostream>

let me know if u guys do not know what i mean

You're on the right track. What you're missing is setting the width of the field in which the values will be displayed, using setw( ) manipulator.

The .setf( ) calls don't need to be inside the loop, as they are "sticky" settings. Width, however, applies only to the very next item to output, so it must be repeated.

void Print_Array(double Size[], int count)
{
	cout.setf(ios::fixed);
	cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
	cout.precision(1);
	int tempcount = 1;

        cout << right;   //sets right alignment in the fields
	for(int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
	{
	     cout << setw(6) << Size[i] ;   //use size correct for your data
	
	     if (tempcount == 4)
	     {
		cout << endl;
		tempcount = 1;
	     }
	     else
		tempcount++;
	}
}
