<p>here i have complete code of flipping matrix from last row in to first row and first row in to last row and <strong>this code is working perfectly</strong> but i have one question and i want to understand it if any one  i just want to print a matrix  i.e <strong>cout&lt;&lt;&lt;'\t';<em>in a single row and only second column</em></strong> as i know that [0][1] zero for known as first row and [1] is known as second column but it is actually printing all rows and all columns even though i have only cout[0][1] first row and second column.</p>
