Is there a way to exclude rows and columns in a C++ array?

Suppose I have an array in C++ such as the following:

1  2  3  4 = arr
5  6  7  8
9  9  8  9
7  6  1  3

Is there a concise way to exclude any row and/or column?

For example, suppose I want to do an operation on the following array:

1  3  4
5  7  8
7  1  3

In other programming languages, I can obtain the above array fairly easy with arr[-3,-2] to exclude the third row and second column. However, I have been unable to find a concise way to exclude rows and columns in C++. How would you go about it?
