# Better to calculate these conversions but that's not the 
# focus today.

# First, figure out the format specifier for each column.
# - determine the type
# - determine the width
# - determine the flags and/or precision

# Second, fill in the values into each of those columns.

# Note how the column headers are based on the content of the tables
