How do I print a 2-Dimensional array as a grid in Golang?

Question

The 2D Array I am trying to print as a board

Note: I am a complete novice at using Go and need this for a final project.

I am making an attempt to make the game, snake and ladders. I need to print a 10x10 2D array as a grid so it can look more like a board.

I've tried using:

                 for row := 0; row < 10; row ++ 10{
                   } for column := 0; column < 10; column++{
                   fmt.Println()
                   }

But it fails.

Any function or any method to do so?

You are almost there, you should pass the variable you want to print to fmt.Println. Also keep in mind that this will always add a newline to the end of the output. You can use the fmt.Print function to just print the variable.

for row := 0; row < 10; row++ {
    for column := 0; column < 10; column++{
        fmt.Print(board[row][column], " ")
    }
    fmt.Print("\n")
} 

Bonus tip, instead of using hardcoded sizes you can also use range to loop over each element which works for arrays/slices of any size.
