    <p>I am a first year degree student in ICT and my assignment requires me to develop a simple candy crush game.</p> <p>So my issue right now is to print the markers( i.e <code>"|"</code> and <code>"_"</code> ) that surrounds the number at <code>board[5][5]</code> when the program initialize.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt; #include &lt;time.h&gt; //FUNCTION: Draw the Board int drawBoard() { //Declare array size int board[9][9]; //initialize variables int rows, columns, randomNumber, flag; //random number seed generator srand(time(NULL)); for ( rows = 0 ; rows &lt; 9 ; rows++ ) { for ( columns = 0 ; columns &lt; 9 ; columns++ ) { flag = 0; do { //generate random numbers from 2 - 8 randomNumber = rand() %7 + 2; board[rows][columns] = randomNumber; //Checks for 2 adjacent numbers. if ( board[rows][columns] == board[rows - 1][columns] || board[rows][columns] == board[rows][columns - 1] ) { flag = 0; continue; } else { flag = 1; printf( " %d ", board[rows][columns] ); } } while ( flag == 0 ); }//end inner for-loop printf("\n\n"); }//end outer for-loop marker(); }//end FUNCTION drawBoard //FUNCTION: Mark the surrounding of the number with "|" and "_" at board[5][5] void marker() { printf( " _ \n" ); printf( "|%c|\n", a ); printf( " _ \n" ); } int main() { drawBoard(); } </code></pre> <p>So...yeah I'm stuck at this part:</p> <pre><code>printf( "%c" , drawBoard(board[5][5]) ); printf( "\n\n%c" , drawBoard( board[5][5]) ); </code></pre> <p>Well I guess I am just weak at function. I want to create a separate function( <code>i.e void marker()</code> ) that can be called in the <code>drawBoard</code> function, and then have function <code>marker()</code> to mark the surrounding area of the number at coordinate <code>board[5][5]</code>.</p> <p>Am I thinking and doing it in a wrong way? Please advice.</p> <p>Sam</p> <p>EDIT 1: Thanks for the help haccks! Yeah I think I understand the basic usage of function now. The remaining problem is that even though I called <code>marker( board[5][5] )</code> from <code>drawBoard()</code>, the printing of the marker <strong>does not happen</strong> on the number that is placed in board[5][5].</p> <p>The marker is printed after the board is printed. Any idea why this happens? By right it should be printed at the coordinate [5][5] :/</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
