Borad

How do i put this in board?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

const int size_x = 10;
const int size_y = 10;

int field[size_x][size_y];

void board(int location [size_x][size_y], char direction);
void ships(char carrier, char battleship, char cruiser, char submarine, char destroyer);

int main ()
{
        char direction;
        char name;
        char proceed;

        cout << "What shp do you want to place" << endl;
        cout << "carrier = C "<< endl;
        cout << "battleship = B "<< endl;
        cout << "cruiser = R "<< endl;
        cout << "submarine = S "<< endl;
        cout << "destroyer = D \n";
        cin >> name;
        cout << endl;

        do
        {

        switch (name)//switch statement
        {
        case 'c':
        case 'C':        cout << "What coordinates do ya want for this ship ? ";
        cin >> direction;
        cout << endl;
        direction = toupper(direction);
                break;

        case 'b':
        case 'B':        cout << "What coordinates do ya want for this ship ? ";
        cin >> direction;
        cout << endl;
        direction = toupper(direction);
                break;

        case 'r':
        case 'R':        cout << "What coordinates do ya want for this ship ? ";
        cin >> direction;
        cout << endl;
        direction = toupper(direction);
                break;

        case 's':
        case 'S':        cout << "What coordinates do ya want for this ship ? ";
        cin >> direction;
        cout << endl;
        direction = toupper(direction);
                break;

        case 'd':
        case 'D':        cout << "What coordinates do ya want for this ship ? ";
        cin >> direction;
        cout << endl;
        direction = toupper(direction);
        break;

        cout << "Do you want to continue:\n"
                << "y (yes) or n (no)";
        cin >> proceed;
        proceed ='y';
        cout << endl;

        default: cout << "Invalid letter." << endl;
        }//end of switch
        }
        while(proceed != 'y');//end of loop

        return 0;
}
void ships(char carrier, char battleship, char cruiser, char submarine, char destroyer)
 {

 }

void location(int& size_x, int& size_y)
{

}

Are you asking how to display it?

yeah

Convert your matrix of symbols your program can work with into a matrix of symbols your user will see. Then use cout to print your horizontal coordinates (separated by spaces - how many is up to you - in console I/O you usually can go up to 80 chars wide), and start a new line. Then perhaps draw a border of hyphens (-), and then a new line. And then start alternating between printing the pipe symbol (|) and the symbols from your matrix. On the next line, print some more hyphens for a horozontal separator, and keep the process going. On each line with symbols, print your vertical coordinates too.

I'm sure this could be done with a loop, but for the sake of simplicity, I suggest you just use lots of cout statements - I think that's more fun anyway :D
