You have to print the string at each index of the table.

that gets a little complicated
basically you have two options:
- add spaces to the beginning of each line to get the horizontal position and print nothing to get the vertical position
- or you could set the position of the cursor for each line to where the next line should be

This is my personal favorite way to do stuff. Always works for this purpose. :)/>
