i already posted answer

Except yours only works when n=3.  What if n=8?

I tried Tux's with n=6, and it worked.  Right on!

I really don't have the skills with initializing and populating arrays at this time, so I failed the challenge.  Currently, I am working through the first chapter of K&R, relearning for loops.  The last programming language I used (besides awk and JavaScript) was C++ in '97.  So I kinda have to relearn.

Yup I know how you feel.
I used to do a bit of C++ but now feel absolutely retarded when faced with a problem like this. :(
Time to brush up on things.

recursion is always the best solution :)

Anyway, in this excerise a recursive solution is pretty much the same as the iterative.

I was bored so I edited my script to format the results properly,
again it is kludgy.
Attached as matrix.txt :)


Also, I want one of you fuckers to demonstrate a solution in C/C++ or maybe Pascal so I can learn from it.
Preferably using function recursion but anything is good. :D

Nice work, I have verified your correctness using n=8.
