May be a tough one

I have a code that acts as a login system. You can log into a computer, logout, search for users that are logged in, and then quit the program.

The computer lab looks like this:
Lab# Computers
1 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
2 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
3 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
4 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)

The user selects the option to login to one of the computers with a five character username. The user logs into lab 2, computer 3, (lets say with username "abcde") After logging in the display SHOULD say this.

Lab# Computers
1 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
2 1: empty 2: empty 3: abcde 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
3 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
4 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)

Here's my problem: When logging in my display looks like
Lab# Computers
1 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
2 1: empty 2: empty abcde 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
3 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
4 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)

Where the 3 goes missing. I can't figure out how to keep the 3: so that the display reads:
Lab# Computers
1 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
2 1: empty 2: empty 3: abcde 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
3 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)
4 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty ...(Goes until 10)

Here's two of the functions I used.

{
     int i,j;
     cout<<"\nSTATUS\n";
     cout<<"Lab#    Computers\n";
     for(i=0;i<rows;i++)
     {
        cout<<(i+1)<<"\t";
        for(j=0;j<cols;j++)
        {
            if(labs[i][j]=="empty")
               cout<<(j+1)<<": empty  " ;
            else
               cout<<labs[i][j]<<"  ";
        }
        cout<<"\n";
     }
}

         cout<<"ERROR, user "<<tid<<" is already logged into that station\n";
     }
     else
     {

         flag=0;
         for(i=0;i<rows;i++)
         {

            for(j=0;j<cols;j++)
            {
                if(labs[i][j]==id)
                {
                    flag=1;
                    labid=i;
                    cid=j;
                    break;
                }
            }
         }
         if(flag==1)
             cout<<"User "<<id<<" is in lab #"<<labid+1<<" at Computer #"<<cid+1<<"\n\n";
         else
              labs[labid-1][cid-1]=id;
     }
}

labs was defined under class and before public as string** labs;

               cout << (j+1) << ": empty  ";
            else
               cout          << labs[i][j]<<"  ";

You have that and you wonder why in
one case you print a number and a text
and in another case only text?

Welp that solves it.
