[SOLVED]Question about an exersize I'm doing.

Mythios (1058)
Alright so this one I think I just been programming to much today and I'm missing something completely stupid. What I have to do is create a 2d Array that is a deck of cards which is the size of a normal pack of cards etc "int deck[4][13];" Now we have to see every element in the array to the value of "1". Once that's done I have to step through the array and take out every 5th element until the pack of cards has no cards in it. I know this is basic but trying to get rid of the 5th element is getting annoying as I think I've got my logic for it totally wrong.

Anyway here's what I've made so far:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "HelperFunctions.h"
#define FIVE 5

void main()
{
	int deck[4][13];

	for(int row = 0; row < 4; ++row)
	{
		for(int col = 0; col < 13; ++col)
		{
			deck[row][col] = 1;
		}
	}

	int totalCards = 0;
	int cardDeleter = 0;

	int i = 0;

	do
	{
		totalCards = 0;
		printf("\n**********Deck Of Cards**********\n");
		printf("\tA 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 J Q K\n");
		printf("                          0\n");
		for(int row = 0; row < 4; ++row)
		{
			if(row == 0){printf("Clubs\t");}
			if(row == 1){printf("Diamonds");}
			if(row == 2){printf("Spades\t");}
			if(row == 3){printf("Hearts\t");}
			for(int col = 0; col < 13; ++col)
			{
				printf("%d ", deck[row][col]);

				if(deck[row][col] == 1)
				{
					totalCards++;
				}
			}
			printf("\n");
		}
		printf("*********************************\n");
		printf("\nTotal Cards Remaining : %d", totalCards);

		
		cardDeleter = cardDeleter + FIVE;
		if(cardDeleter < 13)
		{
			if( i == 0 )
			{
				deck[0][cardDeleter] = 0;
			}
			if( i == 1 )
			{
				deck[1][cardDeleter] = 0;
			}
			if( i == 2 )
			{
				deck[2][cardDeleter] = 0;
			}
			if( i == 3 )
			{
				deck[3][cardDeleter] = 0;
			}
		}
		if(cardDeleter > 13)
		{
			cardDeleter -= 13;
			if( i < 4 )
			{
				i++;
			}
			else
			{
				i = 0;
			}
		}

		Wait(1, 100);
		ResetCursorPosition(0,0);
	} while(totalCards != 0);
}


So basically I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with lines 49 to 80.

Thanks

Figured it out:

If anyone knows a better way though feel free to list it :)

Why are you using a two dimensional array for this? Why not just a single dimension? That would simplify things a bit.
Mythios (1058)
Requirements - they are basic tasks in a class atm. Just a few things I'm touching up on as well. In my case I would do it a lot differently but I have to follow by how they want it done.

yes

its just only a Onedimensional array...

how come you are using two-D array

if you just define

#define deck 4 and 13;

maybe you will come up with a good output..
