	int num_datasets, num_elements;

	return 0;
}


This is the input file I used

3 // Number of data sets
6 // number of elements in each data set
0.1
0.2
0.1
0.2
0.1
0.2
3.0
1.0

1.0

1.0
11 // number of elements in each data set

-8.05
-7.05
-6.05
6.05
5.05
4.05
3.05
2.05
1.05

How might I format this as follows (numbers used are just for example)

Element Array 1 Array 2
0 1.0 0.1
1 2.0 0.2
2 3.0 0.3
3 4.0 0.4 // each number positioned under element, array 1, and array 2 respectively (post does not recognize multiple spaces)

The dot product of array 1 and 2 is ___

Element Array 3 Array 4
* * *
* * *
* * *

The dot product of array 3 and 4 is ___

etc.




Hope I'm not asking too much. I'm pretty sure I have the right idea, but I just can't figure out how to organize my nested loops to print out in above format. I'm terrible at nested loops.

Thanks,
