C Two-Dimensional Array

Question

I'm going to ask something about my code provided below... My question is in the line where there's a comment /*This line*/ . I used variable y and x: y for the HEIGHT and x for the WIDTH. The very first time I run the program, the code was scanf("%d,%d", &y, &x); but unfortunately, the program was not running properly. But when I modified the code with this scanf("%d,%d", &x, &y);, then, I was able to run the program in turn. I can't understand how it happened, since I had set the y as HEIGHT and x as WIDTH?

Answer 1

The problem is the input data. 5,2 meant row 5, column 2, and the problem is that row 5 does not exist (Height is 5, so you have rows from 0 to 4). As soon as you changed the values, they became 2, 5, which correctly point to row 2 (third row) and column 5 (sixth column).

Answer 2

If you are using 5 and 2 for y[HEIGHT] and x[WIDTH], How it will work because your enemy[HEIGHT][WIDTH] array is the array of 5x10.

That is when you are using 5 for y that exceeds it limit that is 0 to 4.

Isn't it.....?
