First of all, I'm gonna write my algorithm..

store solution
prints out menu
gets selection
1 for game
2 for solution
3 to exit
if 1 then go to game
do{
prints board
gets row and column
store row and column
gets row2 and column2
store row2 and column2
}while(row,row2,column,column2 != 0, > 4);
prints board
if row=row2 and column = column2
prints board
match++
else
reset the value of row,row2,column,column2;

and somehow it validates twice.. after it matches then its somehow go to the next if.. and prints it did not match.

need help

here's my code

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <conio.h>

#include <Windows.h>



void solBoard()

			printf("---------\n");

Why are you using "else if" instead of just "else"?

[Flying Dutchman]

First, I think you have a design flaw in your algorithm, I mean this part:

if row=row2 and column = column2

This will be true only when you pick up the same card (number) which I think is illegal move and also makes little sense (opening an already open card). You should check values in your array instead, something like this:

if array[row] == array[row2] and array[column] == array[column2]

Next, when you print board/solution, you declare a variable (2d array) inside a function but instead you should be passing it as an argument or making it global (which is not really a good idea though). You can take advantage and use function to display question array, instead of all that printf code.

[spkenn5]

Thanks for the response guys, I made a little change and create a function for selection, things has been easier to see that way.

Can you guys test it out and find out what's missing?

You have a block of printf's that seems to show up all over the place. It interrupts the flow of your code. I'd use a printboard() type function for that.

[spkenn5]

I tried, but whenever i call out the board() function, it resets the value of the array to the default which is a '?' not the updated ones.. i wonder how do u call a function and keeps the array updated

[Flying Dutchman]

int selection(int column,int row)
{


                printf("%s","Please input column[1..4][0 to exit]: ");
                scanf("%d", &x);
                fflush(stdin);
 
                printf("%s","Please input row[1..4][0 to exit]: ");
                scanf("%d", &y);
                fflush(stdin);


        return x;
        return y;
}

Sadly, this is how it works. I'm talking about 2 return statements. When a function hits a return keyword, it returns value and ends. So when you return x, the control goes back to main function. In some other languages you could write this:

return x, y;

Not in C/C++ though. Best solution for this are pointers. When you pass a pointer to the variable, the reference (address) gets passed instead of a copy (value).

void function(int* pointer) {
    scanf("%d", pointer);  // note the lack of & operator
}

int main() {
    int number = 0;
    
    function(&number);  // passing the address ( & operator ), not the value

    printf("number = %d\n", number);
}

Lastly, in your menu function, why are you using for loop at all?

[RhetoricalRuvim]

Quote

        return x;

        return y;

Why not use something like this?:

int main (){ 

  int x; 

  int y; 

  myFunction (..., &x, &y); 

  ... 

} 

void myFunction (..., int * pX, int * pY){ 

  ... 

  *pX= x; 

  *pY= y; 

}

Nice game,sorry for bumping the thread,but why when I imput 2,2 and after that when I input again 2,2 the icon in the 2,2 is dissapearing...Isn't it supposed to stay there until I find the another icon? :)

I just wrote it,since it may be a bug.

Ahh you're right!! X_X I need to fix the validation, we're not supposed to input 2,2, twice.. haha let me fix ;)
