VISUAL BASIC (VB.NET)1. Create a Sub Procedure with a name of your choice and in the procedure, declare a
2-Dimensinal (2-D) array that can store 15 Integer numbers. Then implement a
nested loop that will be used to store any 15 Integer numbers into the 2-D array at
runtime (an interactive program).
The implementation will be such that the program cannot terminate unless all the
inputs provided are integers (user input validation). If you provide an invalid input,
you should be asked to “Try again”. Make sure also to print out all valid inputs
respectively, after the point of insertion.
Note – The Procedure you created should be called in the Main Procedure to run it.
