hi, im creating a game that solves an 8 puzzle
i need to take in 9 numbers, 0-9 and i need it to be a 3X3 matrix because the "board" uses a 2-d array. how do i cin those numbers??
int main () {
int maxNum;
cout << "Welcome to the Eight-Puzzle Solver." << "\n"
<< "What is the upper limit on the number of"
<< " nodes I should search?" << endl;
cin >> maxNum;
cout << "\n" << "\n"
<< "Please input 9 digits (0--8) to" << "\n"
<< "specify the initial board position:";
cin >> ????
}
doing a search of the board will provide you with a number of similar responses.
also 0 - 9 is ten numbers, not nine.
Basically you use double index operators to access each spot.
int 2D[3][3];
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
for(x = 0; x < 3; x++)
{
2D[i][x] = (3 * i) + x;
}
}
oops, i mean 0-8, sorry
so do i just
cin >> num1 >> num2 >> num3 >> num4 >> num5 >> num6 >> num7 >> num8 >> num9;
and then assign these numbers to a 2d array?
thanks for the help.
An example:
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(void) { int board[3][3] = {{0,0}}; for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { cout <<"Enter Row " <<i <<" Col " <<j <<" :"; cin >> board[i][j]; } for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) cout <<"Row " <<i <<" Col " <<j <<" :" <<board[i][j] <<endl; return 0; }
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
If you want user input for the various spots use Hammer's code. If you want to assign the values 0-8 to the respective spots, use mine. Note how both use a name[][] format to indicate where a specific piece of data is to be stored.
thank you very much
