hi guys, i have fixed the stack overflow issues and it doesn't happen for the time being. now the problem is this part of code doesn't do anything. no output solution. pls advise.

[pertheusual]

Okay, first off, it's pretty much impossible to read that code because of the comment density.

Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and say that your issue is probably due to lack of curly brackets. Your tabbing makes it seem like you have a few large groups of ifs with several ifs inside each one, but you don't have brackets, so they will not be interpreted that way.

Per

i have grabbed part of the code and change it in the following way:

if (c < dCol && sq[r][c + 1] != '#' && sq[r][c + 1] != ' ') { -->if this line is false then jump to the next else if, but if it is true
		if (sq[r][c] == ' ' && sq[r][c - 1] != ' ') {-->if this line is true then execute the statement, the below if statements won't be executed, but if it is false
		   spmtn1(r, c + 1);
		}
	 }
		if (c < dCol && sq[r][c + 1] != '#' && sq[r][c + 1] != ' ') {-->as this line still remain as true, same first if statement as above
		if (sq[r][c] == ' ' && sq[r][c - 1] == ' ') {-->if the above second if statement is false then this line will always be true
		   if ((sq[r][c] >= sq[r][c - 1] && sq[r][c + 1] >= sq[r][c]) || (sq[r][c] <= sq[r][c - 1] && sq[r][c + 1] <= sq[r][c])) {-->then check this line, if it is true then execute the statement, if it is false then jump to the next else if
			  spmtn1(r, c + 1);
		   }
		}
		}
else
if

i think still having errors according to the logic as it still not working. pls advise. thanks in advance.
