It looks like you have already done it.

Column 1 is X (a double)
Column 2 is X squared (a double)
Column 3 is X cubed (double)

You don't actually need a table of all three values becuse you can create the squares and the cubes as needed.

Now you are down to a simple array of double with elements initialized to the values of X.

If you are referring to formatting the table as your post shows, look at the library, "iomanip"--specifically the objects "setiosflags()", "setprecision()", and (possibly) "setw()".

i have to actually format it and have a starting and final number for the table

Well, it seems you have been helped in how to format it, now you just need to decide on your final number... Unless you have a more specific question?

I have this at d moment but cant seem 2 get it into exponential format

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int xA,xB,xTwo,xThree,i;
 
    printf("Two numbers must be entered second number should be higher than first.");
    printf("\nThey should both be whole number\n\n\n");
    printf("Enter first number: ");
    scanf("%d",&xA);
    printf("Enter second number: ");
    scanf("%d",&xB);
    printf("\n\n\n---------------------------------\n");
    printf("Table of Information\n\n");
    printf("---------------------------------\n");
    printf("X           X^2            X^3\n");
    while(xA<=xB)
    {
                 xTwo = xA*xA;
                 xThree = xTwo*xA;
                 printf("%d          %d          %d\n",xA,xTwo,xThree);
                 xA++;
    }
    printf("---------------------------------\n");
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Sinanny-

I'm gonna take a look at your code in just a minute here (some housekeeping things I need to do first), but if you could also read through the Posting Guidelines I'd appreciate it. You didn't do anything big, but we appreciate people using code tags and that sort of thing (I think I also changed the thread title on this, but I'm not sure - that's in there too). So if you could give that a look, we'd be grateful.

Thanks,

sicarie

Sinanny-

By "exponential" do you mean the scientific notation like 2.70e+001 ?

[RRick]

It looks like your problem is in the printf statement. You're using %d which deals with integers. Are you getting any decimals values at all?

Experiment with %e (or maybe f or g). The syntax is pretty weird but something like %12.6e3 should get you close.

By exponential i do mean 1.0e+00.
I have tried using %e and %f etc but just doesnt seem to work
