i am utterly confounded by this phenomenon.
i have searched and experimented with the code,
and i don't know how to explain the problem.


the code is tiny and very simple.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



int field[2][2];



void draw()
{

for(int b = 0; b < 3; b++)
   {
 cout <<"\n";
 for(int a = 0; a < 3; a++)
	{cout << field[a][b];}
   }


}




int main()
{
field[1][0] = 1;

draw();

cin.ignore();

} 

if i have understood multidimensional arrays right
the screen should look like this:

010
000
000

but alas! every time i run the program it prints this:

010
000
100

if i write field[0][2] = 1; instead the same thing happens.

some parts of the array are connected with eachother
in some way.


is there something i have missed completely?
is my computer damaged in some way?

or are strange cosmical forces halting my work?

An array sized [2] is indexed from 0 to 1 - At the moment you're overflowing by one. This applies to all arrays, whether they're 'multi-dimensional' or not

EDIT - Bench beat me with a better constructed answer.

I withdraw to sleep.

strange. i don't understand how i could miss that. i consider myself a somewhat proficient programmer after all.

sorry to have wasted your time.
