Would it be possible to use two CMD windows to display a matrix that is inserted by the user from the keyboard without memorizing it ?. What i would like to achieve is to be able to switch between the two CMD windows in the following way : insert data in the first one and display the numbers that were inserted as a matrix with n lines and m columns in the second one.
I already know how to read the elements of the matrix,how to display them properly and how to open another console from the code that i write. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how i can display the elements of the matrix in the second console window while they are being inserted by the user in the first window ?

You would need some way of communicating between the two windows, and that would depend on your program. You could use sockets, pipes, memory mapped IO (I think), or just some simple shared file.

Yes, it is possible, we call it Inter-Process Communication (IPC)[^].
