Question

Hello,

I have a program that records inventory for a video game store (stores title, quantity, and genre) and is supposed to display the results at the end of the program. However, my results are printing out very disorganized, and I am having trouble getting the information to be in an organized layout. If someone could help me fix the code up so that the results print in a nice, listed format that would be spectacular. Also, everything else is fine and does not need to be touched, it is literally the part at the end after the (====) that needs to be organized. Thank you!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

enum GENRE {Action,RPG,Simulation,Strategy,Sports};

struct gameinfo{
char name[100];
int quantity;
enum GENRE sam;

};

void get_game_info(struct gameinfo *current);

void display_game_info(struct gameinfo gamesinfo[], int n);

int main()
{
printf("How many gamess are there in inventory? ");
int n;
scanf("%d",&n);

struct gameinfo gamesinfo [n];

int k=0;
while(k<n)
{
get_game_info(&gamesinfo[k]);

k++;
}
display_game_info(gamesinfo,n);

return 0;
}

void get_game_info(struct gameinfo *current)
{
printf(" Title of game (maximum of 15 characters): ");
fflush(stdin);
fgets(current->name,100,stdin);
int length;
for(length=0; current->name[length]!='' ; length++)
{

}
if(length>15)
{
printf("Title will be truncated ");
}

printf("Number Sold: ");
scanf("%d",&current->quantity);

printf("Genre (0-action, 1-rpg, 2-simulation, 3-strategy, 4-sports): ");
int genrevalue;
scanf("%d",&genrevalue);
while(genrevalue > sizeof(current->sam))
{
printf("Genre not recognized, please reenter ");
printf("Genre (0-action, 1-rpg, 2-simulation, 3-strategy, 4-sports): ");
scanf("%d",&genrevalue);
}
current->sam=genrevalue;

}

void display_game_info(struct gameinfo gamesinfo[], int n)
{
int i;

printf(" Title ");
printf("Quantity Sold ");
printf(" Genre ");
printf("===== ");
printf("============= ");
printf("===== ");

for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("%.15s ",gamesinfo[i].name);
printf("%d ",gamesinfo[i].quantity);
switch(gamesinfo[i].sam)
{
case 0:
printf("Action");
break;
case 1:
printf("RPG");
break;
case 2:
printf("Simulation");
break;
case 3:
printf("Strategy");
break;
case 4:
printf("Sports");
break;
}
printf(" ");

}
}
