33. Tabular printing of a list of processes

Suppose you have a snapshot of the list of all processes in a system. The information for each process includes name, identifier, status (which can be either running or suspended), account name (under which the process runs), memory size in bytes, and platform (which can be either 32-bit or 64-bit).

All columns must be left-aligned, except for the memory column which must be right-aligned. The value of the memory size must be displayed in KB. The following is an example of the output of this function:
