what I actually need is to delete the rest of numbers which are not part of this column so if the size=3 and the user input 1 2 3 4 5 I need the program to skip 4 & 5 and ask the user again to input the next column with different numbers so 4 & 5 will not be printed in the next column (they should be skipped). I have an idea of splitting the loops I mean Inputting the first column in a loop, then another loop for the second column, and so on, but imagine that the size is 100 it will be really long.
This is the program I'm getting a strange output !.
