2 dimentional arrays

[Guest_imported]

HI
I am new, (no prizes for guessing)


If I have a 2 dimentional array say 10 X 10
and I pick 2 cordinates row and column
and I want the user to guess my choice eg

hit = table[1][7];

by inputting the row and column - but I want to be able to give them a clue each time tey get it wrong
either up, down, left, right, up-left, up-right, down-left
down-right

what I would like any suggestions on a code efficient way of checking the users input against and displaying the correct message

I have coded the program and it works fine but it is several lines long and includesabout 10 if statements

I havn't used pointers as I am only just beginng to figure out what they do but would also like suggestions as to how they would perhaps make the coding beter

Many Thanks

You can probably replace those If-statements with a Switch-statement, as a start. I am not sure why you think pointers would help you here? An array is really a pointer, it uses the index in the bracket to calculate the address of the specified value. Rob Marriott
