2d array question

[time4f5]

I working on a game board for a battleship game, this is what I have for the gameboard function:

int board [10] [10];
char water = '~';
int r, c; //r = rows, c = columns

  for (r = 0; r < 10; r++)
    {   for (c = 0; c < 10; c++)
               printf("  %c  ", water);
           if (c == 10)
              printf(" \n ");
                  c = 0;   //reset column count to 0

basically at this point I can print the board but it isn't the board. I could take my array out of this and still have the same result. that isn't good. I am trying to print the board as
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
etc. but I also need them to have a value so when a player enters a coordinate 2 3, it will tell if it is a hit or not. I'll use a pointer for that. My question is how to assign coordinates to my array while printing the water on the screen.

*disclosure: this code is mine (for what it's worth) any help would be appreciated.

Why don't you just use the array index as the coordinates?
