best way to use if statement?

[firewolf7789]

Hey, i'm pretty new to C++, i know exactly what i need to do, but i'm having trouble in figuring out how to do it =/

I making a battleship kind of game and i've got to the point where it's randomly allocating space for cities, and it displays either a 0 or a number. i want to create an if statement so the numbers display " " instead of a 0 and a "^" for a city. but i just can't figure out where to put it, here's what i have so far:

void NuclearWar::generateMap(int x, int y)
{
int num = 0;
int varA = 0;
int varB = 0;
m_randCities = m_cities * 2;

// generates cities in random places on map
 for(int a = 0; a < m_height; a++)
{
 for(int b = 0; b < m_width; b++)
{
 LevelGrid[a][b] = 0;
}
}
 srand(time(0));
 for(int x = 1; x <= m_randCities; x++)
{
 varA = rand() % m_height;
 varB = rand() % m_width;
 LevelGrid[varA][varB] = x;

}
}


void NuclearWar::displayMap(int m_width, int m_height, int m_cities)
{

	generateMap(x, y);

// displays map and cities
for (int row = 0; row < m_width; row++)
{

	for (int column = 0; column < m_height; column++)
  
		cout << "[" << LevelGrid[row][column] << "]";
	cout << "\n";
}

system("pause");

}

any help would be awesome, cause i'm pretty much stuck...

	for (int column = 0; column < m_height; column++)
                                                       //right here
//ditch this	cout << "[" << LevelGrid[row][column] << "]";
                               if (LevelGrid[row][column]) {cout<<"[^]";}
                               else {cout<<"[ ]";}
	cout << "\n";

that should work, right?
