Printf: text, tabulator

Task: Print a line with tabbed text
Write a C program that uses printf() to display a line of text with tabbed sections.
Output like:
Item Quantity Price
Apple 3 $0.99
Banana 5 $0.50
Orange 2 $0.75

Hint: The \n creates a newline (newline character, enter...), \t creates a tabulator
Usually we can add white space characters with \, therefore the printf("\") results in error. To print a backslash you need to use \\ e.g.: printf("\\") will print out: \

Solution

#include 

int main() {
    printf("Item\tQuantity\tPrice\n");
    printf("Apple\t3\t$0.99\n");
    printf("Banana\t5\t$0.50\n");
    printf("Orange\t2\t$0.75\n");
    
    return 0;
}

Explanation

In this example, the program uses printf() to display a line of text. The \t escape sequence is used to insert a tab character between the sections, creating consistent spacing between the columns.
