Description:
I have a program where I need to display a list of up to 20 items in two columns instead of one. I can get the items(from a char array Items[20][32]) to display alphabetically down the page after sorting, and using a counter it stops at 20 items. How do i break the display in two, so that I have two equal columns( with one extra item in the first column when there are an odd number of items) and have the two columns be equidistant from each other and from the margins of the page?
I used a for loop with Items[Count]to stop the list at 20 items.
