Question

im trying to implement the n-queen problem board game and im having problems with the board
so what am i doing wrong here in this displayboard function? its suppose to implement an 8 by 8 empty board sorry im just a beginner

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

using namespace std;

const int rows = 8;
const int columns =8;

int board[rows][columns] = {0,0};

void displayboard();

int main(){

displayboard();

system("pause");

}
void displayboard ()
{

cout << "  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8" << endl;
cout << "  ---------------";

for (int bRow = 0; bRow<rows; bRow++)
 {
 for (int bCol = 0; bCol<columns; bCol++)

  if (board[bRow][bCol] == 0)
         cout << " ";
  else 
      cout << " ";
  } 
 cout << endl;

  return;
 }

Answer 1

if (board[bRow][bCol] == 0)
      cout << " ";
else 
      cout << " ";

?? Both do the same thing ! Printing a blank space. Moreover, you haven’t populated your array board[8][8] anything other than 0s.
