• The C function std::setw behaves as if member width were called with n as argument on the stream on which it is inserted/extracted as a manipulator (it can be inserted/extracted on input streams or output streams). It is used to sets the field width to be used on output operations.
• This program is using setw and setfill it supposed to output the stars I have included the sample output at the end of my project I hope u gona be.

Include the iostreams standard header <iomanip> to define several manipulators that each take a single argument.

Syntax

Remarks

Each of these manipulators returns an unspecified type, called T1 through T10, that overloads both basic_istream<Elem, Tr>::operator>> and basic_ostream<Elem, Tr>::operator<<.

Basically the idea is to center a string. I selected the total length to equal 80. I know there is no fail safe placed into this program. I know there is another way to do this. I am stuck in a way. The program works, but I think I am doing it the hard way. any information or advice would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

You could use setw() from <iomanip>

Here's how I would do it: (assuming your screenwidth of 80)

note: not tested, I don't have a compiler at the moment. but you get the basic idea!
