what i meant was that for example i have 2 enter the following array int a[4][4].the element of row 4 and column 1 is a space how do i enter space in this array.
1 4 15 7
8 10 2 11
14 3 6 13
12 9 5
1 4 15 7
8 10 2 11
14 3 6 13
12 9 5
Let me see, you have a matrix of numbers 4x4, where the bottom right number is a space?
(under 13, right to 5)
you can't just insert char of space into integer array.
What you can do.
I can give you 2 solution(using INT array):
1)tag the "cell" where you need this space to appear with another number you never use. (like
0,-1,99 etc')
and on your other array manipulations check for this tag.
2)store the ascii values of the numbers and not numbers them self, this way you can insert space.

What if i want 2 enter a 2 digit number for example 15 what would be the ascii value of 15?
But if you want to insert a ' ' char to an integer array you can insert it's ascii value.
Or you can use Collection's array (uses objects) and insert space char as it is.
