how can i do a function?

I would like to do a function just to output a gameboard instead of write the same code everytime when a change occurs.

Hi
have put drawgameboard as a function
and moved gameboard [10][10] as a global variable

also have initialixed gameboard in main function.

I notice you have srand so assume you will be using random numbers to change
the board. If you are I would put this in a while loop to update until finished

I don't mean to be rude, but this is covered in the tutorial, and its very basic. I HIGHLY suggest reading the tutorial from start to finish: http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
