How to finally display result in tabular form of choices entered by voters

[admin]

Although not required to be submitted for the Runoff project, my objective is to display choices entered by voters in tabular form.

Like if there are 3 candidates (a, b, c) and 2 voters , the screen finally should display:

1,1,c

1,2,b

1,3,a

2,1,c

2,2,b

2,2,a

Right now, the code below is not showing finally the above result. Instead, it is showing one by one as ranks are entered.

The task apparently is to store output from line 81 each time the loop passes into an array and then print the final result. Even though int z [] will store 3 integer values ( if j = 3), stuck on how to make sure that int z[0] = output from line 81, int z[1] once again output from line 81 as loop runs in the above screenshot.
