Thread: Grid

I want to create a 9x9 grid for a sudoku program I'm making. I've got a randomly generated set of numbers stored in sudoku[8][8]. some will be a number between 1 and 9, others will be an empty value. What I need is a 9x9 grid which has the following properties:

1. Each cell corresponds to a number in the sudoku array, so if sudoku[0][0] is 7, the top left-hand box will be 7.
2. The ones with no value can be written in - but only one digit and only a number between 1 and 9.
3. If you press 'enter' after writing the digit, the number will be transfered to the corresponding array slot
4. However you can still go back and change them

I think I can do 3., and 4. probably comes with 2. So I just want to know how to do 1. and 2..

I thought [8][8] is what I need, because it starts at [0][0]?

I'm not following you. surely sudoku[8][8] will be nine rows of
[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

You are mistaking "the number of elements" for "the number of the element"...

To make a 9 x 9 grid use sudoku[9][9] ... which will give you 9 elements numbered from 0 to 8... Go ahead count them...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!

I didn't know that it would stop at 7!
