Help please.

nethoinkz (21)
I encounter a runtime error during the first move.
But when I set the board to 10 row 10 col I don't get a runtime error.
Please help.

*edit1: updated my code. still has errors.
*edit2: updated my code. solved. thanks to Peter87.

Line 22: Variable length arrays are not supported by standard C++.

Your compiler makes some sort of guessing and makes the array of length 10,10 since that is what you initialize the row and col variables with. Weird compiler. In any case, what you're doing is not supported by C++, (it's supported by C99 though).

Try valarray: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/std/valarray/.

@unoriginal, I don't get it. what should I do then? :|
Peter87 (11234)
What unoriginal talking about is not an error. It's just that you are using an extension that is not standard C++.
nethoinkz (21)
@Peter87, any alternatives that will function the same but will not commit runtime error? :|
nethoinkz (21)
@unoriginal, when I initialize the row and col by 5 I still get runtime error when I input 5 row, 5 col. but works when 10 row, 10 col. why?
Peter87 (11234)
You can use std::vector instead but as I said it's not what causing the error.

Don't call srand more than once. Each time you call srand with the same seed you will get the same sequence of numbers. Call it once at the start of main.

Can you explain a bit more when the error happen and what happens?

@Petery87, okay let me edit that.
Hmm. error occurs when the area of the game is not 10,10. tried 5,5; 15,15; 10,15; 20,60; i get runtime errors during the first move. :|
Peter87 (11234)
I found an error on line 134, i can be equal to trapcount which is out of bounds for trprow and trpcol.

@Peter87, also, if I remove the board[prow][pcol]='+'; the runtime error doesn't occur but ofcourse it would not function correctly.
