Problem with iteration on array in For loop - c++

Question

I'm having a trouble for a long time in a problem related to array and loops.
Assume an array like:
int arr[] = {2, 3, 5, 3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 9};
The program should print the expected column as shown (note that the table is an idea for clarification of what I actually want to achieve):
max: expected arr[index] for max
------------------------------------
2 : 3 5 value of: arr[0]
3 : 6, 8, 10 value of: arr[3]
1 : 9 value of: arr[7]
This is what I've tried so far:
#include <iostream>
int main(void) {
int arr[] = {2, 3, 5, 3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 9};
int max = arr[0];
int i = 1, it = i;
for (; i <= max; i++) {
if (i == max) {
std::cout << arr[i] << std::endl;
max = arr[it + 1]; // when loop end has come, increment max to next element value
it = i + 2; // incrementing iterator by 2 next element position (after max)
} else {
std::cout << arr[i] << ' '; // when loop is executing
}
}
return 0;
}
What it actually prints which is unexpected V/S what it should print:
3 5 | 3, 5
3 6 8 | 6, 8, 10
10 1 9 | 1, 9
10 | <nothing>
The program is about to get max value and print the next elements until max value reaches the number of element position.
Where the problem's occurring and how to fix it? Please let me know.

Answer 1

So I rewrote your code, frankly I couldn't follow it, it seems a bit confused with variable names that seem a bit off.
Here's some working code. The two key concepts in the code are the place where each block starts (the variable start) and the size of each block (the variable count). Plus I use the size of the whole array sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]) to terminate the outer loop. Something that wasn't present in your code. If you are using C++17, you can use std::size(arr) instead of sizeof.
int main(void) {
int arr[] = {2, 3, 5, 3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 9};
size_t start = 0;
while (start < sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]))
{
int count = arr[start];
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
std::cout << arr[start + i + 1] << ' ';
}
std::cout << std::endl;
start += count + 1;
}
}
The output is
3 5
6 8 10
9
