    whats the problem....

    i have written a program which should print the matrix in the following fashion.

    1 2 3 4 5
    16 17 18 19 6
    15 24 25 20 7
    14 23 22 21 8
    13 12 11 10 9


    code is :
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    main()
    {
    	int a[10][10];
    	int i, j;
    	int r, c;
    	int count = 0, loop;
    
    	printf("enter the order of square matrix\n");
    	scanf("&#37;d%d", &r, &c);
    	
    	if(r == c) {
    		for(loop = 0; loop < (r + 1)/ 2; loop++) {		//for circular loop
    			for(i = loop; i < (c - loop); i++) {		//row loop th row
    				if(count < r * r)                               //condition for to come out of loop
    					a[loop][i] = ++count;            //assigning the counter value
    			}
    			for(i = loop + 1; i < (r - loop); i++) { //for n - loop th row
    				if(count < r * r)                            //same as above
    					a[i][r - loop - 1] = ++count;
    			}
    			for(i = (c - loop - 2); i > loop; i--) {    
    				if(count < r * r)
    					a[c - loop - 1][i] = ++count;
    			}
    			for(i = (r - loop - 1); i > loop; i--) {     
    				if(count < r * r)
    					a[i][loop] = ++count;
    			}
    			if(count == r * r)
    				break;
    		}
    		for(i = 0; i < r; i++) {
    			for(j = 0; j < c; j++) {
    				printf("%d\t", a[i][j]);
    			}
    			printf("\n");
    		}
    		
    	}
    	else
    		printf("invalid order for computation\n");
    }


    but with this code every thing is going fine till the matrix order 10 * 10. hence forth it is showing some garbage values in the matrix... some one please tell me what changes i have to make to make this program generic.....

    If you declare an array like this:
    Code:
    int a[10][10];
    then you only have 10x 10 element.

    Why not just use a 1d array? Its a little more easy to be dynamic if you aren't using 2d arrays.
