2D Array HELP

[fivestar]

I am new to C++ and i am working on making an array and i am having trouble wrapping my head around the for loops. If you can help explain why we use them in simple terms, that would be very helpful.

  int main() {
	
	char grid[10][10] = { { '|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  { '|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  { '|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|',},
						  {	'|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|','|' } };

	
	for (int row = 0; row < 10; row++) {


		for (int column = 0; column < 10; column++) {
			cout << grid[row][column];
		}
		cout << endl;
	}
	
	system("pause");
	return 0;

}

A good idea would be to trace the code. Get out a pen and paper, see how the variables 'row' and 'column' are changing and how the array gets printed.

Im not sure what you mean.
