"btbybtvt5yggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh5", uhm.... yeah. Hate to be the one to break this to you but that is not C++, java or C# so it can't possibly be what you have tried.

Yes, but what do you want?

Member 13118693 10-Apr-17 9:30am

I just want a algorithm that generates every possible combination a n by n boolean array can be.

So, you want someone to write it for you?

No, I just need some advice to how to go about programming it

This is really just a logic problem. So get a piece of paper and a pencil, draw the grid (3x3 should be enough), and think about the steps needed to fill it. Once you understand the problem you can decide which language to use for your program.

Help you with what ? It is so simple that there is nothing other than the code. Note, you did not even gave us a correct statement.
This is coding 101 level
Generating all binary grid is about 1 or 2 lines, depending on what you want with each grid the code must fit in 10 lines of code.

We do not do your HomeWork.
HomeWork is not set to test your skills at begging other people to do your work, it is set to make you think and to help your teacher to check your understanding of the courses you have taken and also the problems you have at applying them.
Any failure of you will help your teacher spot your weaknesses and set remedial actions.
So, give it a try, reread your lessons and start working. If you are stuck on a specific problem, show your code and explain this exact problem, we might help.

As programmer, your job is to create algorithms that solve specific problems and you can't rely on someone else to eternally do it for you, so there is a time where you will have to learn how to. And the sooner, the better.
When you just ask for the solution, it is like trying to learn to drive a car by having someone else training.
Creating an algorithm is basically finding the maths and make necessary adaptation to fit your actual problem.

The idea of "development" is as the word suggests: "The systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge to meet specific objectives or requirements." BusinessDictionary.com[^]
That's not the same thing as "have a quick google and give up if I can't find exactly the right code".
