In a 2 dimensional array, my 0,0 spot keeps changing

I have a 10x10 array, initialized to all zeros.
I create 2 random numbers for the purpose of guessing a position in the array.
However, when I print the array, the 0,0 spot keeps shifting to match the 2nd random number generated.
Is there something strange about the 0,0 spot?
Here is my code:

Code:

---


seedrnd();
for (x=0;x<2;x++)
{
randArray[x]=rnd(10);
}
for (x=0;x<2;x=x+1)
      {
          printf("randArray[%i] = %i\n",x,randArray[x]);
      }
randRow=randArray[0];
randColumn=randArray[1];
printf("%i Random Row \n",randRow);
printf("%i Random Column \n",randColumn);
printf("[0][0] = %i\n",oppBoard[0][0]);
printf("[0][1] = %i\n",oppBoard[0][1]);

The 2nd to last print statement actually prints randColumn.
The last print statement correctly prints 0.

Any advice?

Post the complete program.
You miss key information about how you declared your arrays.
Simply describing them won't work if your understanding is flawed.

You're not showing nearly enough code to see what you're actually doing. Nowhere in the code you posted is the oppBoard array getting populated.

OK - I was trying to keep it simple in case there was something specific to the 0,0 spot.
Here's the full program. It is a battleship game. Right now the array is just full of zeros because I pulled out the placement of the ships while I debug this 0,0 position issue. Doesn't matter. It still populates the 0,0 position in the obbBoard with the randColumn value every time it generates a new randColumn, but none of the other positions are affected.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
main()
{
int row;
int column;
int a;
int b;
int k;
int loopCount;
a=0;
b=0;
k=0;
char directionLetter;
int finalRand;
finalRand=0;
int rnd(int range);
void seedrnd(void);

int oppBoard[10][10]; //Sets up the opponent’s array
for(row=0;row<10;row=row+1) //Fills the array with zeros
{
 for (column=0;column<10;column=column+1)
      {
      oppBoard[row][column]=0;
      }
}

for(row=0;row<10;row=row+1)
{
 for (column=0;column<10;column=column+1)
      {
          printf("oppBoard[%i][%i] = %d\n", row,column, oppBoard[row][column] );
      }
}

How many valid subscripts does this have?
How many are you using?

One subscript with 2 elements used in lines 77 and 78. The 2nd element in RandArray is somehow being placed in OppBoard [0][0].

It is a array with only 1 element with the index of 0 zero.

OMG thanks! I'm new to this. I knew it had to be something dumb but the oddness of the error had me looking in the wrong place. I forgot that an array with 2 elements had to be initialized with a 2 even though the index positions are 0 and 1!
