Here's my print code:
CODE

void printBoard(char gameBoard[][COLUMNS], char gameBoard2[][COLUMNS])
{
    int i;
    int j;
    
    printf("A B C D E F G H I J            A B C D E F G H I J\n\n");
    
    for(i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++){
            printf("%c ", gameBoard[i][j]);
        }
        printf(" %d",i+1);    
    
        printf("\n");
    }    
    
    
    for(i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
    {
        printf("                    ");
        for(j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++)
            printf("%c ", gameBoard2[i][j]);
    
        printf(" %d",i+1);    
    
        printf("\n");
    }    

    
    printf("\n");        
}


there is a pic of the output attached

I want to move the array printout in the bottom right up so that
it is lined up with the top array. Only a verictal move.

Thanks

printf cannot just throw text to a direct alignment. You would need to use functions that can write to specific areas of the screen (conio.h in Windows), or write both arrays out as you are on the correct line.

So the way I want to do it wont work, what then? Do somehow make 1 array and have a space or what? I cant figure out how to print on the correct line. I have moved that second array's print statement all over the place.

There are lots of ways to do this -- none of them really all that fun.

Basically there are two approaches:

Print both boards data in the same Printf statements.

Create a buffer and write your own print statments to write to the buffer. Then when you have finished your calculation print the entire buffer.

Well I don't know anything about buffers, so I'll work with the same printf idea. I did try this but the output is very messed up, no matter where I tell the placeholder to go. Do the loops have to be changed as well?
