Problem with word puzzle program
Hi All,
I need a help with my program. My program is about finding a word in 2D array horizontal, vertical, or diagonal in any direction but I have some problems with finding the word in the diagonal direction. I don't know what I did wrong.Can anyone help me to solve this problem ?
my code is below:
