Without giving you the answer, this is going to be a basic part of coding anything that has a web interface, regardless of what language you are using, so I think it's an opportunity to learn how to deconstruct the problem.

  1. Google is your friend. If you type your exact question into it, you will find tons of tutorials and Q&A sites with different takes on this issue. Up to you to find the one that suits your situation.
  2. You're likely going to have to learn a server-side language to generate a webpage and incorporate your program's output. (PHP, server-side JS, .NET or whatever you feel comfortable with).
  3. If you understand HTML/CSS structure, mock up what you would want the final output to look like, then work backwards to figure out how to generate it programmatically within an HTML template.
  4. If you don't understand HTML/CSS, Treehouse has courses on that :)
  5. That process will lead you to figure out how to structure the output of your program so that it can be parsed by your back-end code, and then output to HTML/CSS.

Once you learn how to do this, you'll be able to do it for any language, program, front-end/back-end framework, etc.
