finding an int in an array

im going to take this summer course for advanced science/math/a little programming over the summer (its at OSU, i believe its called SI2003, its for current high school freshmen and sophmores) and you have to answer some sample questions to see wut you know
one of the questions is you have to make a 5 by 7 array that will hold 35 single diget ints the person types in. then it tells how many 0s there are, 1s there are etc.
i can do all of that, but then you have to make it tell where they are (ie [3][5] or whatever) i tried several methads but none of them worked. i dont want someone to tell me the answer cuz im supposed to do it myself, but if you could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
here is my latest attempt:

Code:

---

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

int zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine;
int osu[7][5];
int zeroa[5][7];
int zerob[5][7];
int onea[5][7];
int oneb[5][7];
int twoa[5][7];
int twob[5][7];
int threea[5][7];
int threeb[5][7];
int foura[5][7];
int fourb[5][7];
int fivea[5][7];
int fiveb[5][7];
int sixa[5][7];
int sixb[5][7];
int sevena[5][7];
int sevenb[5][7];
int eighta[5][7];
int eightb[5][7];
int ninea[5][7];
int nineb[5][7];
int a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, x;

void input()
{
  cout <<"Please enter 35 single diget integers.\n";
  for(a = 0;a < 7;a++)
  {
    for(b = 0;b < 5;b++)
    {
      cin >>x;
      if(x<0 || x>9);
      {
        cout <<"The number you have entered is in valid. Please try again.\n";
      }
      else
      {
        osu[a][b] = x;
      }
    }
  }
}

void count()

in addtion to the 50 billion different errors i get, i dont think it would work

First off, you declare all of your index holder arrays as [5][7] but then when you try to enter items into them, you treat them as one-dimensional arrays:

Code:

---

zeroa[c] = c;  // error!  zeroa is a two-dimensional array, not one!

---

Declare them as a single size array of size 35:

Code:

---

int zeroa[35];

---

Second, the numbers you put into the index arrays is the amount of that number, NOT the index! So zeroa[1][1]=1, zerob[2][2]=2, etc.
Change it to this:

Code:

---

zeroa[c] = a;
zerob[d] = b;

---

Last, you don't need the counters c-x. Just use the counter you already have for each number.

Code:

---

zero++;
zeroa[zerro] = a;
zerob[zerro] = b;

---

That'll save you a lot of variables!

Consider three nested loops like this

Code:

---

    for(int digit = 0; digit<=9;++digit) {
//      stuff
        for(int x = 0;x<5;++x) {
            for(int y = 0;y<7;++y) {
                if(matrix[x][y] == digit) {
//              stuff
                }                 
            }
        }
//      stuff
    }

---

There is no need to figure everything out, then store it in variables then print the variables, just print things as you know them.

Since you have 'till summer, you might pick-up a copy of "Teach Yourself C++ In 21 Days" by Jesse Liberty. (You probably won't actually make it through the book in 21 days, unless you don't have any other homework.) :) That should get you up-to-speed for the course.

I really liked the style of the book. It's designed for self-study with questions and exercises at the end of each chapter. With the answers and solutions in the back.
