Thread: while does this 2d char array (almost) work in C , but not even close in C++?

printing out a 2d char array, In C++ it just wacks the hell out of it, and comes up with its own abbreviations for what is in the array, and in C it chops off part of the last word in the first element being printed. NOT using element 0, btw.

What would be a better way to print out various sizes in an array like this?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char snacks[7] [30] = { " ", "Cracker Jacks","Gummy Bears","Lemon Heads",
                            "Skittles","Snickers","Milky Way"};

 
size_t count = 1, col = 0;

for ( ; count < 7 ; count++)
{
    for (; col != '\n'; col++)
    {
        cout <<snacks[count][col]; 
        col++;
    }
    cout<<endl;
    col = 0;
}
    //same code compiled in C as well 
    //gets same output
    printf("\ntime two\n"
    "C code\n\n");
    
    count = 1, col = 0;
    
    for ( ; count < 7 ; count++)
    {
        for (; col != '\n'; col++)
        {
            printf("%c", snacks[count][col]);  
        }
        printf("\n");
        col = 0; //reset
    }

return 0;
}
