Two-Dimensional Arrays and Enumeration Types

[NormV1984]

I'm working on a homework question that is similar to this script I wrote, but the output isn't coming out the way I would like.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    const int  iRow = 4;
    const int  iCol = 6;


    enum carType {GM, FORD, TOYOTA, BMW, NISSAN, VOLVO}; 
    enum colorType {RED, BROWN, BLACK, WHITE, GRAY}; 

    char inStock[iRow][iCol];

    int row, col;

for (row = 0; row < iRow; row++)
    {
        for (col = 0; col < iCol; col++)
            inStock[row][col] = 'M';

    }


    for (row = 0; row < iRow; row++)
    {for (col = 0; col < iCol; col++)

    cout << setw(10) << inStock[row][col];
    cout << " " << endl;
    }

    
    system("Pause");

    return 0;


} 

I would Like the output to look something like:

        GM   FORD   TOYOTA  BMW  NISSAN  VOLVO
 RED
 BROWN
 BLACK
 WHITE
 GRAY

using ENUM only lets you use a "word" instead of number, for example, using GM and RED is equivalent to using the integer 0 (not the digit 0).

So what you need to do is store the actual names in a string array if you want to display the names more than once.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char * cart[]   = {"GM", "FORD", "TOYOTA", "BMW", "NISSAN", "VOLVO"};
    char * colort[] = {"RED", "BROWN", "BLACK", "WHITE", "GRAY"};
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) cout << setw(10) << cart[i];
    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) cout <<  endl << colort[i];

    return 0;
}

Can you "fill" the cells of this table now?

EDIT: Don't use system("Pause"); it will offend some members :D
But they're probably right.

You can use that along with a little bit of simple math and the cout function to create beautifully positioned output.
