C++ Creating a for loop to output a multiple multi-dimensional arrays.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to output multiple multi-dimension array in C++, and need a little help understanding on why and how for loops display output where they do. I would like my first multi-dimensional array to output and then to the right of that I would like to have my second mult-dimensional array output. I am able to get my second mult-dimensional array to output underneath the first, but not next to it without making everything look like a mess. Below is an example of how I would like my code to output.The - are supposed to be empty space, I had an issue trying to get it to display properly.

-- first -------- second
12 34 23-------34 56 67
32 77 56------34 54 56

Below is what I have to output my first mult-dimensional array. Thanks for your time.

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;




int main()
{
int a[2] [3] = 
{
	{ 16, 18, 23 },
	{ 54, 91, 11 }
};

int b[2][3] =
{
		{ 14, 52, 77 },
		{ 16, 19, 59 }
};

for (int row = 0; row < 2; row++)
{
	for (int column = 0; column < 3; column++)
	{
		
		cout << a[row][column] << " ";

	}
	cout << endl;
}


_getch();
return 0;

}

I ended up finding that if I add another for statement and nested in the first for loop and then cout some blank spaces I was able to achieve what I was looking to do. Below is what I had to do.

for(i = 0; i < num_rows; i++)
{
for(j = 0; j < num_cols_1; j++)
{
    // print j'th element in i'th row of array 1
}

// print some spaces

for(j = 0; j < num_cols_2; j++)
{
    // print j'th element in i'th row of array 2
}
 }
