Ok, im working on a game like battleship, but you have to protect an island.
Anyway before i write the game I made a program to try to better understand arrays, i think i understand most of it.
However, i need it to display like this:

XXX
XXX
XXX

and it displays like this:

X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X

This is my code:

CODE


#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstring>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int ROWS = 3;
    const int COLUMNS = 3;
    
    char board[ROWS][COLUMNS]=  
    
    // Board
    
    {  
      { 'X', 'X', 'Y', },
      { 'D', 'G', 'G', },
      { 'k', 'X', 'T', },
    };
        
       for ( int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++ )
       {
          
           for ( int j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++)
           {
               cout << board[i][j];
               cout << endl;
           }
          
       }
       cin.get();
       return 0;
}  
          


Any ideas? Thanks

You are outputting a newline after every character output - you only want to output the newline every third time, or every row has been completed
CODE

       for ( int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++ )
       {
          
           for ( int j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++)
           {
               cout << board[i][j];

           }
          cout << endl;  
       }
