Hello everyone I have pretty lengthy code here, i think I may need to place all the code, but all I need is one one thing, it's pretty much done:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

// Function prototypes
void BuildDeck( int deck[], const int size );
void PrintDeck( int deck[], const int size );

void PrintCard( int card );
string Cap_Name( string word );

When the program deals the cards it prints like one long list:

8 of Clubs
5 of Spades
Jack of Hearts
King of Clubs
3 of Diamonds
10 of Diamonds
King of Spades
6 of Spades
Jack of Diamonds
Ace of Spades
8 of Clubs
5 of Spades
Jack of Hearts
King of Clubs
3 of Diamonds
10 of Diamonds
King of Spades
6 of Spades
Jack of Diamonds
Ace of Spades
8 of Clubs
5 of Spades
Jack of Hearts
King of Clubs
3 of Diamonds
10 of Diamonds
King of Spades
6 of Spades
Jack of Diamonds
Ace of Spades

When it's supposed to print like this:

Ace of Hearts Jack of Spades 7 of Clubs
2 of Spades 2 of Spades 3 of Spades
3 of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds 10 of Hearts
10 of Clubs 8 of Hearts 9 of Diamonds
Jack of Hearts 9 of Clubs Jack of Clubs
Queen of Clubs Queen of Hearts King of Diamonds
7 of Diamonds King of Spades 6 of clubs

I'm horrible at formatting, so if I can get a little help with it, thanks in advance.

Line 178 should only trigger one time in three.

Each time make it increment a counter. When the counter reaches 3, reset it to zero and only then output the endl.

Are you sure, When the loops print the portion with the columns, it prints correctly, but before that it prints the entire deck out, I think it has to do with line 147 right?

Hang on... I didn't give it a really good read. I scanned through looking for an endl after it prints out the card's suit...

Lots of stuff comes out. It looks like this; what in this do you not like? If it's the big list after "Do you want to see what the deck of cards looks like (y/n)?" that's a big list because at that point you call the function printDeck which just churns out all the cards with an endl after each card, on line 138. It doesn't happen anywhere else because nowhere else do you call printDeck.

Hello, I am a computer program that is so smart
I can even perform a card trick.  Here's how.
To begin the card trick type in your name: C

Thank you C
Ok C, first things first.  Do you want to see what
