any help will be much appreciated :)
thanks in advance

import java.util.Scanner;

public class magicSquare {

	static Scanner sn = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args) { 
    	System.out.print("Enter odd number: ");
        int N = sn.nextInt();
        if (N % 2 == 0) throw new RuntimeException("N must be odd");

        int[][] magic = new int[N][N];

        int row = 0;
        int col = N/2;
        magic[row][col] = 1;

        for (int i = 1; i <= N*N; i++) {
        	
        	magic[row][col] = i;
        	
        	--row;	// Move up
        	--col;	// Move left
        	
        	if(row <= 0 && col == 0){
        		row = N - 1;
        		col = 0;
        	}

        	if(row < 0){ row = N-1; }	// test if row need to wrap down
    
        	if(col < 0){ col = N-1; } 	// test if col need to wrap right
        		
        	if(magic[row][col] == 0) {
        		magic[row][col] = i;
        	}
        	else {	//check if the spot is taken.
        		int temp = col;
        		col = row-1;
        		row = col;
        		row = N-1;
        		
        		if (col < 0){
        			col = N - 1;
        		}
        	}
        }

        // print results
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
                if (magic[i][j] < 10)  System.out.print(" ");  // for alignment
                if (magic[i][j] < 100) System.out.print(" ");  // for alignment
                System.out.print(magic[i][j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

help guys

check lines 25-27 in your code and see what you might be doing wrong. that is where you're setting that zero that you're getting.

but if im going to change my code in line 25-27

the output will change...:( any suggestion sir?

then try to find the specific part of the code that gives the unwanted result
maybe print each array index one by one

but if im going to change my code in line 25-27

the output will change...:( any suggestion sir?

isn't that what you wanted?

problem solved guys..

i really appreciate your comments :D hope to see you again next time.

good then. mark your thread as solved.
