Question

NOTE: I had two variables with the same name… Big thanks to Stefan Birladeanu and Henrik for noticing that!*

Recently I started writing code that helps me input the values of bool function to Veitch (Karnaugh) diagram with 4 variables. The code should write elements to matrix size 4×4 but with these indexes:

1. element – index 3,3
2. element – index 2,3
3. element – index 3,2
4. element – index 2,2
5. element – index 0,3
6. element – index 1,3
7. element – index 0,2
8. element – index 1,2
9. element – index 3,0
10. element – index 2,0
11. element – index 3,1
12. element – index 2,1
13. element – index 0,0
14. element – index 1,0
15. element – index 0,1

16. element – index 1,1
    This is the code of main():

        void main()
        {
            int n;
    
        n=4;
    
        int **VeitchDiagram;
    
        //allocate memory for Veitch diagram
        VeitchDiagram = new int *[n];
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
            VeitchDiagram[i]=new int [n];
    
        //enter the elements
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
        {
            int j, k;
            if(i%2==1)
            {
                k=0;
                if(i<2)
                    j=4;
                else
                    j=-1;
                for(int k=0; k<2; k++)
                {
                    if(i<2)
                        j--;
                    else
                        j++;
                    cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //this part writes the input to elements with index (at least it should do that):
                    k++;                            //0,3     1,3     0,2     1,2     if i%2==1 and i<2
                    cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //0,0     1,0     0,1     1,1     if i%2==1 and i>=2
                    k--;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                k=3;
                if(i<2)
                    j=4;
                else
                    j=-1;
                for(int k=0; k<2; k++)
                {
                    if(i<2)
                        j--;
                    else
                        j++;
                    cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //this part writes the input to elements with index (at least it should do that):
                    k--;                            //3,3     2,3     3,2     2,2    if i%2==0 and i<2
                    cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //3,0     2,0     3,1     2,1    if i%2==0 and i>=2
                    k++;
                }
            }
        }
    
        //free memory allocated for VeitchDiagram
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
            delete [] VeitchDiagram[i];
        delete [] VeitchDiagram;
    }
    

Answer 1

        for(int k=0; k<2; k++)
        {
            if(i<2)
                j--;
            else
                j++;
            cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //this part writes the input to elements with index (at least it should do that):
            k--;                            //3,3     2,3     3,2     2,2    if i%2==0 and i<2
            cin >> VeitchDiagram[k][j];     //3,0     2,0     3,1     2,1    if i%2==0 and i>=2
                                 ^ k == -1

But you really should learn how to use a debugger.
