Output formatting

[autokustomizer]

I wrote this code to determine an election winner...I am having problems outputting the answers under their proper heading...This is my code...

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Ch9Prob7
{
	//Initialize Scanner
	static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
		
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		//Initialize and Declare Variables/Arrays
		String[] nameList = new String[5];
		double[] nameVotes = new double[5];
		double totVotes;
		double[] percent = new double[5];
	
		//Introduction and Prompting user for canditates names
		System.out.println("This program is for entering in 5 names of canditates for an election.\n");
		System.out.print("Please enter the name of the 5 canditates \n putting a space inbetween the names:");

	//Identify inputted names
		//First name
		nameList[0] = console.next();
		//Second name
		nameList[1] = console.next();
		//Third name
		nameList[2] = console.next();
		//Fourth name
		nameList[3] = console.next();
		//Fifth name
		nameList[4] = console.next();
		
	//User inputting amounnt of votes
		//The votes for the first person
		System.out.print("Please enter the amount of votes for " + nameList[0] + ":");
		nameVotes[0] = console.nextInt();

	//Declaring and Calculating percent of total votes
		
		//First persons' percent of total votes
		percent[0] = ((nameVotes[0] / totVotes)* 100.0);
		//Second persons' percent of total votes
		percent[1] = ((nameVotes[1] / totVotes)* 100.0);
		//Third persons' percent of total votes
		percent[2] = ((nameVotes[2] / totVotes)* 100.0);
		//Fourth persons' percent of total votes
		percent[3] = ((nameVotes[3] / totVotes)* 100.0);
		//Fifth persons' percent of total votes
		percent[4] = ((nameVotes[4] / totVotes)* 100.0);
		
		//Outputting Results
		System.out.println();
		System.out.println("Canditate          Votes           % of Votes\n");
		System.out.printf("\n" + nameList[0] + "             " + nameVotes[0] + "           %.2f", percent[0]);

		System.out.print("The total amount of votes is: " + totVotes);
		System.out.println("\n");	
		
	//Determining and outputting winner of election
	
		//First person up for election
		if ((nameVotes[0] > nameVotes[1]) && (nameVotes[0] > nameVotes[2]) && (nameVotes[0] > nameVotes[3]) && (nameVotes[0] > nameVotes[4]))

			System.out.println("The winner of the election is: " + nameList[2]);
		
		//Fourth person up for election

			System.out.println("The winner of the election is: " + nameList[4]);				
		
	}
}

There is nothing wrong with that code, and here is my output.

Why can't I get the number to line up with their corresponding titles??? It isn't putting the numbers in a perfectly lined up order vertically. Any suggestions???

[shyam]

have u tried using the printf method?

[autokustomizer]

Yes, I tried with the %-10s, I didn't see any changes in what I was doing... Maybe I am using wrong??

System.out.printf("%-10s \n + nameList[0] ...");

Is that correct??? I tried that, I didn't see any difference...
