How would I edit my code so that a board is printed after each coordinate is guessed, that doesn't show the position of the ships, but shows where the user enter his guess with an S.

I suggest to make two arrays. One with the ships and the other for the user.

[Enoizat]

Example:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
#include <vector>

// coordinates (location) of the ship and shots
struct location {
    int x;                          // 1 through FIELD_SIZE
    int y;                         // 'a' through FIELD_SIZE
    location(int x_arg = -1, int y_arg = -1) : x { x_arg }, y { y_arg } {}
};

// contains ship's coordinates (location) and whether is was sunk
struct ship {
    location loc;
    bool sunk;
};

struct Board {
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> board;
    int sinked { '#' },
        guess  { 'S' };
    explicit Board(int val);
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Board& myb)
    {
        os << "  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9\n";
        int seq {};
        for(const auto& a : myb.board) {
            os << seq++;
            for(const auto i : a) { os << ' ' << static_cast<char>(i); }
            os << '\n';
        }
        return os;

    board.resize(val, std::vector<int>(val, ' '));

Note: your code is becoming hard to manage without classes.

The S is supposed to show where the five submarines are already located, and the # will signify hitting the ship(Which is correct). I just want to know how to put the 5 submarines left on the board.

[Enoizat]

How would I edit my code so that a board is printed after each coordinate is guessed, that doesn't show the position of the ships, but shows where the user enter his guess with an S.

The S is supposed to show where the five submarines are already located, and the # will signify hitting the ship(Which is correct). I just want to know how to put the 5 submarines left on the board.

Sorry, could you please elaborate a little more what you aim to do?
Are there submarines... left? Are 'submarines' and 'ships' different things in your project?
Should submarines "come to light" with an S after the first shot from the user?

[cash]

Sorry there are no ships only submarines. There are supposed to be five submarines in the field, and I just want to show their positions at all times. This is so my professor can see the placement of the submarines.

Hello cash,

I think you should post the link to the assignment instructions so everyone will know what is need.

This way they would know what "DE_BUG" is for and how it is used. Which you do not have along with the 2Darray that is needed.

Here is the assignment.

Can anyone help how to incorporate a 2d array in the program.

You have missed so many parts of the instruction with your code it may be easier to start over and use part of what you have written in the new version.

Hope that helps,
