I am trying to display a table of values with 3 columns. I have the values limited to 3 decimal places using Math.Round and when Console.Writeline writes lines using "\t" for tab the vertical alignment is off.

I was hoping if there was someone out there who can recommend a solution. Thank you my gurus.

What I have tried:

I have tried separating columns by two tabs (thinking that perhaps the problem was that some numbers took up too many positions) but to no avail.

This helps. I figured it out. It appears that the "\t" adds an additional tab if there are more than 7 characters
