Tab and/or Table Question?
Is there a way to make the output print under headings like columns on
a simple Java app?
My code is fine, it complies and works and even has an illusion of
printing the way I want it too. But what I want is for the output to actually
print under headings.
//Inventory Program Part 1
//Inventory enters and displays Part information
/*
*Parts used for testing include Glass Break: part # FG730,
*Motion Detector: part# Aurora, and W/L Contact: part # 5816.
*any quantity for units on hand and unit price is appropriate
*for testing purposes.
