I need help making a program that read 2 int (the number of "nl" lines and "nc" columns of the word search) and then read the "nl" lines of the word search. After that, my program must read the number of coordinates "n" and, after that, the "n" pairs of coordinates knowing that first reading the number of column "c" and second the number of line "l".
here's an example:
3 4
ABCD
EFGH
IJKL
5
1 2 1 3 2 2 3 3 2 4
In this case, my program should print the BCFKH string.
Can anyone help me?
And what have you tried?

for now, nothing. i'm new to c language and need some guidelines for thisOriginally Posted by KBriggs
You need to show some real effort if you want us to put in real effort toward helping you. Read your textbook and class notes, and check some online tutorials. The scanf and printf family of functions will probably be useful here, as will 2-d arrays.
Then, if you have trouble, post back, paste your code (as plain text), properly indented and formatted, in [code][/code] tags. Ask specific questions about the specific problems you're having and if necessary, give us as much info as we need to reproduce your problems and help you troubleshoot them.
I suggest read the section called "Introduction and Basic C Features" C Tutorial - Learn C - Cprogramming.com
You need at least the first three; and, I think the forth would be useful.
I think after the first three section; you might try reading this FAQ FAQ > Get a line of text from the user/keyboard (C) - Cprogramming.com

well here you go, but next time try something by yourself first, then ask for help. (I did it fast so excuse me for the messy look)
NOTE: I assumed that the input is clear and good, which means I didn't check if the variables wether the user entered really int or char... check them by yourself if you want.
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { char** arr; int n,m; int i,j,pairs,r,c; //input rows and columns scanf("%d", &n); scanf("%d", &m); //define matrix arr=(char**)malloc(n*sizeof(char*)); for(i=0; i<n; i++) arr[i]=(char*)malloc(m*sizeof(char)); //input matrix for(i=0;i<n;i++) for(j=0;j<m;j++) scanf(" %c", &arr[i][j]); //input number of pairs, and print them... scanf("%d", &pairs); while(pairs!=0) { scanf("%d", &r); scanf("%d", &c); printf("%c", arr[r-1][c-1]); pairs--; } printf("\n"); //free memory for(i=0;i<n;i++) free(arr[i]); free(arr); return 0; }
hope it helped

@ConcanCoder:
We do no hand out solutions on this site -- not even on a one-time basis. We are here to help people learn and giving them the answer most certainly does not do that. I suggest you re-read the forum guidelines and homework policy. If you want to give away free solutions, there are other programming forums that don't care.
Oh okay my bad, thought it's okay if I give him this... I won't do it again I promise :/
So, despite being pointed to the homework policy when you asked for help without having applied effort, you concluded it is okay to do people's homework for them?
A policy of (effectively) "do your own homework" can't logically work if people do homework for others.
I wouldn't mark ConanCoder's code that highly...
The thing that should be noted here is that everytime you give a programmer [to be] a full solution on here, the programming community gets dumber.
Also, everytime you give a solution out that does not display good programming practices, the programming community gets dumber.

you guys, you really need to chill out, you don't tell me what should I do, u r NOT my bosses, even though the rules prevent these things, and grumpy if u don't want to help with homeworks, very well, but what I did wasn't asking for full solution, cuz as u see I tried doing them, and by the way what I'm asking for is not "please code for me this", it's complexity things (which I find most hard), and still, I try doing it by my self be4 I post, and Click_here speak for your self <3
END OF DISCUSSION, I'm never responding or texting again, just letting you know, you don't tell me what to do. (FULL STOP)
The reason why we were against you posting a solution is because Luis Ribeiro posted the question, not ConanCoder
You should always follow Forum guidelines, and not aid others in breaking the Forum guidelines.
