Drawing rectunglar borders using for loop and array

fahmankhan75 (412)
Have spent one hour working on this and yet can't come up with a solution. Anyone willing to help me with this. I don't even know if im using the correct approach here. if not, can you tell me what exactly I can do to draw a border. Not asking anyone to write the code for me but perhaps explain it to me how I can draw a border.

If there is a better way to do then this, then please let me know. I have use a array though.

  void doubleborder(char doublelineborder[][10],int size)

	//-----------
{
	int row=0;
	int column;
	for (row=0;row<size;row++)
	{
		
		
			for(column=0;column<10;column++)
			{
				if (row==0 || row==9)
				{
					doublelineborder[row][column]=(char)(196);
					cout<<doublelineborder[row][column];
					
				
				}
				else if (row>0 && row<9 && (column==0 || column==9))
				{
					
					doublelineborder[row][column]=(char)(179);
					cout<<doublelineborder[row][column];
				}
				
			}
			cout<<endl;

Here's a pretty simple way of doing a 10x10 border.

#include <iostream>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    int r, c;

    for( r = 0; r < 10; ++r )
    {
        for( c = 0; c < 10; ++c )
        {
            if( r == 0 || r == 9 )
            {
                std::cout << "*";
            }
            else
            {
                if( c == 0 || c == 9 )
                    std::cout << "*";
                else
                    std::cout << " ";
            }
        }
        std::cout << "\n";
    }

    return 0;
}


I don't really see the point of the array in your code unless you print the border outside of that function some place. It doesn't seem right to have both the assignments and the prints in there.
