display whats in an array side by side

ok, so ive got some values that are inputed by a user and are stored in an array. Now what i want to do is change this piece of code below to show ina different way.
Code:
}
for (( num=0; num<9; num++ ))
do
    echo ${arr[$num]}
done
}

which outputs the array contents each on a seperate line. I want to output whats in the array onto a single line.

so, if the user inputs the letter "a" i want to automatically put that in the first array box. But if the user inputs the letter "b" then i want to automatically put that into the second array box.

sorry for the quickness of my second thread, im on a deadline today.

thanks in advance.

You can use the -n option with echo or printf to suppress the newline character.
