user input into 2d array

[adam0421]

Wondering how to get a users input to store into a 2d array. am I even close?
Also I was wondering about how to get the array to display as a table once I get data into it.

Thanks.

  #include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;


const int ROWS = 4;
const int COLS = 4;
int showArray (int[ROWS][COLS]);

int main()
{
    
    int table1;
    table1 = showArray(int [ROWS][COLS]);
    cout << table1;

    return 0;
}

int showArray( int[ROWS][COLS])
{
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;

    int userInput;
    int array[ROWS][COLS];
    for (int y =0; y<ROWS; y++)
    {
        for (int x =0; x<COLS; x++)
        {
            cout << "Enter Row of Data";
            cin >> userInput;
            array[x][y]= userInput;
        }
    }
 
    return array[x][y];
}

Hey, your functions "showArray" does not show any array. Instead it fills and array. There would have been 2 functions "fillArray" and "showArray".
Also, your main is totally messed up

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

void fillArray(int **array,int row,int col)
{
    int i,j;
    cout<<"Enter Data in array"<<endl;
    for(i = 0; i < row; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < col; j++)
        {
            cout<<"Enter element ["<<i<<"]["<<j<<"]: ";
            cin>>array[i][j];
        }
    }
}
void showArray(int **array,int row,int col)
{
    int i,j;
    cout<<"Table of contents"<<endl;
    for(i = 0; i < row; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < col; j++)
        {
            cout<<setw(3)<<array[i][j];     //show row in one line
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
}
int main()
{
    int row,col;
    cout<<"Enter row: ";
    cin>>row;
    cout<<"Enter col: ";
    cin>>col;

    int array[row][col];    //declare array
    fillArray(array,row,col);
    showArray(array,row,col);
    return 0;
}

you could just put input straight into the array instead of using another variable.
