Passing a 2d array into a function?

[Simbaku]

Basically I am wondering how its possible to pass an array through a function so that its values can be changed via another function without using global variables.

void mainArray();

int main()
{
  while(condition = true)
   {
      mainArray();
      editArray(); //This is a function that I would want to use to edit mainArray()
   }
}

void mainArray()
{
char myArray[3][3] = { { '20','15','26' } ,{ '31','32','50' } ,{ '16','27','86' }};
cout << myArray[blah][blah]; 
}

I want to able to use editArray to change the data in myArray and then have the screen refreshed with the updated data.

You just pass the array in the function using * array[col size]

So would it basically be smarter to just pass the array through to the function from Main()?

Statically declared 2D array:

const int COLUMNS{ 3 };
void print_array( int arr[][COLUMNS], int rows )
{
    for( int r{}; r < rows; r++ ) {
        for( int c{}; c < COLUMNS; c++ )
            std::cout << arr[r][c] << ' ';
        
        std::cout << '\n';
    }
}

template<int rows, int cols>
void print_array( int (&arr)[rows][cols] )
{
    for( int r{}; r < rows; r++ ) {
        for( int c{}; c < cols; c++ )
            std::cout << arr[r][c] << ' ';
        
        std::cout << '\n';
    }
}

Dynamically declared 2D array:

void print_array( int** arr, int rows, int cols )
{
    for( int r{}; r < rows; r++ ) {
        for( int c{}; c < cols; c++ )
            std::cout << arr[r][c] << ' ';
        
        std::cout << '\n';
    }
}
