c++ on VS19 - how can I display a table of number with cloumns aligned using cout

Question

Keith Lovell 61

I want to display a scoreboard on the console with the columns lining up as shown in the example below.

Team 1 (2) 5 30 45 62
Long name team (0) 10 28 49 165

The team names are type string (at the moment) and the numbers are integers.

I am using the latest versions of c++ and Visual Studio.

The title should be "columns" not "cloumns" and the numbers after the ")" in the body should be aligned on the right most digit.

Thanks for this. I will test it out. One final question for the moment: How can I achieve the same thing but have the result in a string variable rather than on the console?

Look at ostringstream in your reference
