Where can I learn formatting output?

OPEN

Hello fellow Redditors,

I’m currently a first-year student learning introductory C++. I have a final project that requires developing a console program, but we were never really taught how to properly format the output—things like creating tables, headers, or structured lists. Right now, everything just looks… messy.

How can I improve the formatting so the input and output look cleaner and more organized?

I was also wondering if you have any go-to YouTube channels or websites that explain this well.

And if anyone has a sample console program they’ve done before, would you mind sharing it for reference?

Thanks a lot, everyone.
