Given the numbers in the following grid (from 1 to 36), how can I determine their coordinates (x,y) within the grid?
| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
------------------------------
0| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1| 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
2| 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
3| 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36
i.e. what I want to obtain is the following:
| 0 1 2 8
------------------------------
0| (0,0) (1,0) (2,0) ... (8,0)
1| (0,1) (1,1) (2,1) ... (8,1)
2| (0,2) (1,2) (2,2) ... (8,2)
3| (0,3) (1,3) (2,3) ... (8,3)
I have tried:
x = number%9-1;
y = number/9;
which works for all cases except the ones in the last column on the right.
So I came up with:
if (number%9==0) {
x = 8;
y = number/9-1;
}
else{
x = number%9-1;
y = number/9;
}
My question is, is there a smarter way of doing this?
