537: Mainline

If you like, you can tell C to put the padding on the right by adding a minus sign:

printf ("%-6s%-8i\n", "Food", 300); 

The result is left justification, rather than right justification:

*----- First argument-value characters start here 
| 
|   *----- Padding for first argument 
|   |    
|   | *----- Second argument-value characters start here 
|   | | 
|   | |  *----- Padding for second argument 
|   | |  | 
|   | |  v 
v   v v  ----- 
Food  300
