ok, I changed the code around(see edit), but still, it won't output anything, the cursor just flashes. UBC_Wiskatos's works, except I don't know that much about what he did, apparently, I skipped the case section of the tutorial.

so what's wrong with it now?

Try this:

I don't think your original array values correspond to the shapes, I changed them in my code, but they're in their original form here. Anyway, the problem seems to be with the if seeing if the char is equal to a, b, or c. I think this should work.

I think the core problem is that you use double quotes instead of single quotes, since single quotes are for (single-character) chars.

code:

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { int tot, posx, posy; int count = 0; int pos [8][8]; for (int x= 0; x<8; x++) {    for (int y= 0; y<8; y++)    {       pos [x][y] = 0;    } } char type;    cout << "Input the total number: ";    cin >> tot;    for (int i=0;i<tot; i++)    {       cout << "Type of block (A, B, C): ";       cin >> type;       cout << "X-Coord: ";       cin >> posx;       cout << "Y-Coord: ";       cin >> posy;       if (type == 'a')       {          pos [posx-1][posy-1]++;          pos [posx-1][posy-2]++;          pos [posx-1][posy-3]++;          pos [posx][posy-3]++;          pos [posx+1][posy-3]++;       }       else if (type == 'b')       {          pos [posx-1][posy-1]++;          pos [posx][posy-1]++;          pos [posx-1][posy-2]++;          pos [posx][posy-2]++;          pos [posx-1][posy-3]++;       }       else if (type == 'c')       {          pos [posx-1][posy-1]++;          pos [posx-1][posy]++;          pos [posx-2][posy-1]++;          pos [posx-3][posy-1]++;          pos [posx-4][posy-1]++;       }    } for (int k=0; k<8; k++) {    for (int j=0; j<8; j++)    {       if (pos[k][j] != 0)       {          count++;       }    } }   cout << count << endl;   return 0; }

lol

man.......Im so messed up it's not even funny.....
I found out the problem

code:

for (int k=0; k<8; k++)

instead, I had this:

code:

for (int k=0; k<8; i++)

man....Im soooo out of it.....

maybe the SAT stuff is detrimental to my health...

LOL, jeez man, I told you about that error a few posts back! Those SATs are going to kill you.
