Hello

I am a Java newbie and I am trying to answer the following question. However my Temp column is not lining up evenly

Index        Days              Temp
0        Monday            12
1        Tuesday            15
2        Wednesday      9
3        Thursday            12
4        Friday            8
5        Saturday            14
6        Sunday            13

public class ArrayDays
{
	public static void main (String [] args)
	{
	
		System.out.println ("Index \t Days \t\t Temp");
		
		String arrayDays[]= {"Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
		int arrayTemps[]= {12, 15, 9, 12, 8, 14, 13};
		
		for(int i = 0; i <arrayDays.length; i ++)
		{
	
		}
		for(int i = 0; i <arrayTemps.length; i ++)
		{
			System.out.println(i + "\t " +arrayDays[i]+"\t\t"+ arrayTemps[i]);
		}

		
	}
}

printf will do it

public class ArrayDays {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] arrayDays = {
                "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday",
                "Saturday", "Sunday"
            };
        int[] arrayTemps = { 12, 15, 9, 12, 8, 14, 13 };

        System.out.printf("%-6s%-10s%4s\n", "Index", "Days", "Temp");

        for (int i = 0; i < arrayDays.length; i++) {
            System.out.printf("%-6d%-10s%4d\n", i, arrayDays[i], arrayTemps[i]);
        }
    }
}

Not really. You'd have to do all your padding explicitly - good luck ;)
