it compiles but there isnt any answer...it just like exits back to the server

[Disch]

well that's because it doesn't do anything.

What is it supposed to do?

EDIT: Also, read this:

suppose find the biggest entry in the array which is 8

[NYCrealist123]

ok i read that and the issue here is, it doesnt run like how i want it to. I am suppose to get the biggest entry in the array however my code does not do what i want.

It looks like you have everything commented out. The computer doesn't run code when it's in comments.

Take a look at your main function. When you remove the commented lines you have this:

int main ()
{
    int arr1 [2][3] = {{1, 8, 3}, {4, 7, 3}};

    return 0;
}

All it's doing is creating an array, then exiting. If you want it to do more you have to tell it to do more.


Try uncommenting line 18. That looks like it is calling the function to find the highest value in the array.
