I'm doing a C Program assignment and i'm supposed to print a size 18 array... But with 3 values on 6 lines...

for (i=0; i<17; i++)
{
printf("%10.4f\t\t\t\n",i);
a[i]=(float)(i*i+m)/(float)(2*i+n);
}
I think there's something wrong with my printf statement... When i run the program, it prints 18 lines in 1 column. How do i change it so i get it to print as 3 columns and 6 rows?

Your current code only prints out the loop counter, and even that in floating format. It only prints out 17 values, instead of the intended 18 values. The code prints a few tabs without values between them. Value printing happens before the value is calculated, though it isn't used anyway.

Without knowing what your code is supposed to do, I would give it a try like this:

I haven't compiled it (it's a quick mind hack), but it should print 3 values in a row.

And maybe replace the printf statements input with the array values, instead of the loop counter.
