magicsquare
807603Mar 17 2007 — edited Jan 27 2008i have to create a program to draw a magic square using a 2 dimensional array
This is my class so far it should only create part of a magic square
//MagicSquare.Java
//A MagicSquare class for producing a magic square
//This class produces a 2 dimensional array of size by n and sets all values to 0
//It is a (n*n) magic sqaure where n is an odd integer
public class MagicSquare {
public static void main (String[] args){
System.out.println("This is a magic square application");
int n = 3;
//I will set n to 3. It is also an odd interger as required
int [][]magsqr = new int[n][n];
//I have created an array
//I have used two set of square brackets so the array is two dimensional as required
int x = 1;
int y =((n+1)/2)-1;
magsqr [x][y] = 1;
//I am now carrying out the formula as stated in the question
for (int i=2; i <= (n*n);i++){
if(magsqr[((x-1)+n)%n]][((y-1)+n)%n]){
x = ((x-1))%n;
y = ((y-1))%n;
}
else {
x = x+1;
}
}
}
}
i have the following error
C:\Documents and Settings\jon c\My Documents\java 124\MagicSquare.java:29: ')' expected
if(magsqr[((x-1)+n)%n]][((y-1)+n)%n]){
