I'm sorry for posting homework, but I can't figure out why this thing isn't running right. Could someone please take a look at this and see what I did wrong? THANKS! #include int row, col, count=0; int CheckBoard(int row, int col); int board[8][8]={0}; main() { int PlaceQueen=0; do { col=0; //loop to check the board do { printf("%d %d\n", row, col); if(CheckBoard(row, col)==1) board[row][col]=3; else col++; //clears the column in column is over 8 and removes queen from counter if(col>8){ row--; for(col=0; col0); //checks diag #3 (--) printf("diag3\n");} if(x!=7){ r=row; c=col; do { if(board[r][c]!=3){ c--; r--;} else x=7; }while(x!=7&&c>0&&r>0); //checks diag #4 (-+) printf("diag4\n");} if(x!=7){ r=row; c=col; do { if(board[r][c]!=3){ c--; r++;} else x=7; }while(x!=7&&c>0&&r>0);} printf("%d %d\n", row, col); //returns 1 if no queen attack, 0 if queen attack if(x!=7) return 1; else return 0; }

I don't think that anyone has a problem with homework posting if you have attempted to write some code and are asking for help. It's the people that want it all done for them that get ignored/flamed. I very recently heard about the "8 queens" problem, otherwise I wouldn't know what you are trying to do. A little description of what you want to do and what is happening would be helpful.

Good point. The 8 queens problem is to take a regular 8x8 checker board and place 8 queens on it so that no queen can attack any other queen using standard chess moves. You will notice alot of superfulous printf statements in this code, I put them in to tell me where the program made it to so that I could hopefully figure out where it went wrong. It didn't help. I'm sure that its something little that I overlooked, but I've been staring at it for too long and can't see it. Thats why I'm hoping that you guys here will be able to help. Thanks.

I have once again changed it and wanted to see if anyone was out there that could help me understand this thing. The assignment is already turned in, so I just want to see where my mistake was and have a working program for future reference. The include is . Thanks. #include int row, col, x=0; int c, r, count; int board[8][8]={0}; int PlaceQueen=0; main() { do { c=0; do { //checks horizontal (-) printf("horizontal\n"); do { if(board[row][c]!=3) c++; else x=7; }while(c0); printf("r=%d, c=%d, x=%d\n", r, c, x); //checks diag #3 (--) printf("diag3\n");} if(x!=7){ r=row; c=col; do { if(board[r][c]!=3){ c--; r--;} else x=7; }while(c>0&&r>0); printf("r=%d, c=%d, x=%d\n", r, c, x); //checks diag #4 (-+) printf("diag4\n");} if(x!=7){ r=row; c=col; do { if(board[r][c]!=3){ c--; r++;} else x=7; }while(c>0&&r8){ row--; for(col=0; col8;col++){ board[row][col]=0;} col=0; PlaceQueen--; printf("place queen minus=%d\n",PlaceQueen);} }while(board[row][col]==0); printf("Made it farther\n"); PlaceQueen++; printf("place queen=%d\n",PlaceQueen); row++; printf("%d %d\n", row, col); }while(PlaceQueen8); //prints out answer count=1; for(row=0; row8; row++){ for(col=0; col8; col++){ if(board[row][col]!=0){ printf("%d ",count); count++;} } } return 0; }
