How to print your name middle on the console screen?

Question

c++ basic program

Answer 1

Sorry to add late; this might be generally useful (also @jay's code; nice).

To determine start position, you need the terminal width and the width of the string. Let's say the terminal is 160 characters across, and your string is 23.

160/2 is halfway. You can either subtract half of 23 (80-12 = 68) or combine it in one operation:

xPosition = (termWidth - myStrWidth) / 2;

Now for the "bad news". To programmatically find out how big the terminal is, you probably have to ask the GUI API:

You may have better (simpler) luck with a recent version of 'curses' (ncurses / pdcurses)...this link is what it looks like:

Use required number of \t (tab) to move your name to the middle of the screen

Answer 4

with gotoxy you can move cursor anywhere in console .
if gotoxy don't work in your compiler:

header file : windows.h and iostream

void gotoxy(int x ,int y)
{
HANDLE a;
COORD b;
cout.flush();
b.X=x;
b.Y=y;
a=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
SetConsoleCursorPosition(a,b);
}
