    I am trying to do this:

    "Please enter your name"
    This then gets stored in array at position [0]

    "How many 6 number lines do you want?"
    "Please choose 6 numbers"

    These 6 numbers get stored in a 2D array [6][20]

    Once this is done I then want to give the option to enter a new user name and this user can enter more lines of 6 numbers...
    At the moment the only way I can populate the array is to user a for loop but this keeps asking for the user name instead of then asking for their numbers:
    Code:
