How to use a double subscripted array to represent a chess board

[guiyii]

Just like the title.thanks!

[TheIdeasMan]

char Board[8][8];

[guiyii]

but i think i need to actually create a chess board with "|"and"--"

You can use nested for loops to do that.

I would imagine nested for loops is the way you are going to do everything with your board.

[guiyii]

but then why do i still need to use array?

[TheIdeasMan]

You use the for loops to access the array.

[guiyii]

I was thinking if i use nested for loop,i could do this without using the array,is that right?

[TheIdeasMan]

You could print the outline of the board, but you need the array to store which pieces occupy which spots on the board.

[guiyii]

that sounds reasonable.
I will try it.thanks for your help!
