    Updating 2d array

    Code:
    // fill
    for (int i=0; i<10;i++)
     for (int j=0; j<10;j++)
      square[i][j]= '0';
    
    // update
    square[1][1]= '4';
    square[3][4]= '1';
    square[7][7]= '7';
    
    //print
    for (int i=0; i<10;i++) {
     for (int j=0; j<10;j++)
       cout << square[i][j];
     cout << endl;
    }
    The 2D array is not being updated, and only 0's are printed. What is wrong ?

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
       char square[10][10];
       // fill
       for ( int i=0; i<10;i++ )
          for ( int j=0; j<10;j++ )
             square[i][j]= '0';
    
       // update
       square[1][1]= '4';
       square[3][4]= '1';
       square[7][7]= '7';
    
       //print
       for ( int i=0; i<10;i++ )
       {
          for ( int j=0; j<10;j++ )
             cout << square[i][j];
          cout << endl;
       }
    }
    
    /* my output
    0000000000
    0400000000
    0000000000
    0000100000
    0000000000
    0000000000
    0000000000
    0000000700
    0000000000
    0000000000
    */
    ?
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
