Help with magic squares
JULIE SIGNER
Hi. I would like to see some source code on generating a magic square
(of width 3 ) and find every combination for that width and sending it to
stdout.
Now I have to finish cleaning for Passover.
Thanks,
Julie

Ahhh...the dreaded MAGIC Square question...While I am certainly no pro at
programming I did one, while enrolled in a Pascal course last year. I won't
post the code, especially since it was Pascal, but I'll give you a hint.
Initialize the square with zero's
Set the corner square up with a value
Use a few IF's & FOR's with some logic in there.
See ya later alligator...

Dear Julie (or is it Steve?),
How charming to discover that the ancient art of letter-writing is not
yet dead among today's American youth, even in this electronic age. But
it is even more heart-warming to discover that you place such a high value
on the virtues of hard work, diligent study and reasoned discourse. Your
ingenious strategy of insulting the very people who might possibly have
been willing to help you has paid off handsomely! For Lo! So taken am I
by the sparkling wit which shines through every phrase you write, that I
have added to this very message a "magic squares" program of my own
devising, just for you. I have also sent this message to the comp.lang.c
newsgroup, so they can join in the joyous celebrations. As those august
philosophers Ren and Stimpy might say, "Happy Happy Joy Joy!"
With my very warmest regards,
-Edwin
