How to set output console width in Visual Studio

Question

Whenever I build and run my C++ code from Visual Studio 2013, the console window width is un-adjustable and because of this, causes my output to be pushed onto the next line soo

Answer 1

One solution that I use frequently with console applications I debug from Visual Studio that does not require code changes is to do the following:

1. Right Click on title bar of your running console application
2. Select Properties
3. Select Layout
4. Then set the window size.

After you close the dialog box, Windows should save the settings or prompt you to save depending on your version of Windows. I believe Windows 8 or newer does not prompt, while Windows 7 or lower prompts.
