    Hi do any expert/programmer know how can I compare the same row with same column to derive the maximum value? For examples, column 1 will be comparing with row 1, column 2 will be comparing with row 2, column 3 with row 3 and so on...

    I did some c++ coding but it didn't works.

    I guess I do not know yet to use what method for comparing same column and same row together, what code can ensure this?

    By the way, my error is I have a 5x5 array, my first to fourth looping manage to get the correct maximum value. How ever, for the last, 5th position which is comparing array[4][0] with [0][4], I got the correct maximum value but did not manage to get the correct position [][] of the maximum value.

    Thanks.

    How exactly didn't it work? Post your code. What input did you give (if relevant); what output did you get, and what output did you expect?

    Hi for example I wanted it to print the maximum value as well as the the position.

    For example, this is my 5x5 matrix.

    1 2 3 4 5
    6 7 8 9 10
    11 12 13 14 15
    16 17 18 19 20
    21 22 23 24 1

    To compare 1st row with 1st column and as follow,

    my result should shown:

    [4][0] - 21
    [4][1] - 22
    [4][2] - 23
    [4][3] - 24
    [3][4] - 24, it should have printed [4][3].

    OK, but post your code as well, because I can't see where you went wrong if I can't see your code.
