Ok so for each number in the Hanoi(1,2,3,3); we run the 3 sub branches?

Eg; for Hanoi(1) its:
Hanoi(Tower1, Tower3, Tower2, n - 1);
Hanoi(Tower1, Tower2, Tower3, 1);
Hanoi(Tower2, Tower1, Tower3, n - 1);

The first line would be n(3)-1 which is 2, but i dont get what im doing with the sub branches.
First line = ?
Second line = ?
Third line = ?

Then for Hanoi(2) and (3) i still dont get it, but by understanding what happens in the first call i will understand the rest.
Can you please explain that one?

I understand that it is calling itself over and over until the conditions are met, but i am trying to understand if:

Hanoi(1, 2, 3, 3);

means that n = 1 then 2 then 3 then 3.
Or if its
Hanoi(int Tower1, int Tower2, int Tower3, int n)
Hanoi(1, 2, 3, 3);

Meaning that tower1 = 1, tower2 = 2, tower3 = 3, n = 3 ?

I keep getting errors, going to prob re-do like all the code again from scratch..This stuff doeesnt work at the moment.

int[,] toys = new int[4, 5];
for (int week = 0; week <= 3; week++)
{
for (int day = 0; day <= 4; day++)
{
int tempVal = 0;
if (int.TryParse(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Please enter value for Day " + (day + 1) + " in week " + (week + 1) + "."), out tempVal))
{
toys[day, week] = tempVal;
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Invalid entry");
day--;
continue;
}
string headerFormat = "\t\tMon\tTue\tWed\tThur\tFri\n";
string lineFormat = "Week {0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\t{5}\n";

txtOutput.Text = headerFormat;
for (week = 0; week < 4; week++)
{
txtOutput.AppendText(string.Format(lineFormat, week + 1, toys[week, 0], toys[week, 1], toys[week, 2], toys[week, 3], toys[week, 4]));
}

The tempval stuff causes it to crash atm

So basically to keep it 5,4 i have to change the top for loop to day/week in all loops.
Otherwise is must be 4,5 and week/day ?

Thanks for all the help so far Ron!

Doesn't 5,4 come out like this.

That also comes up with outside the bounds of the array.
Its weird because the array is like this up top:

int[,] toys = new int[5, 4];
for (int week = 0; week <= 3; week++)
{

so when i tried ur code it came up with outside bounds :/

That seems to fix that issue, now i tried mixing up the for loop to change things up.

If i run ur code it gives me "Index was outside the bounds of the array."
If i run this it gives me "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."
for (week = 0; week < 3; week++)
{
txtOutput.AppendText(string.Format(lineFormat, week + 1, toys[week, 0], toys[week, 1], toys[week, 2], toys[week, 3]));

Im trying to make it all make sense

Didn't think it was that obvious. :)

Btw, with week 0,1,2,3,4. Does that output it as Week 0, Week 1 ... etc?
Because techincally i have Week 1-4 only in the array

Yeah checking it out now, but this gives me the same weird message "A local variable named 'week' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'week', which is already used in a 'parent or current' scope to denote something else" in the for int week part

will do, thanks Ron

Oh so i had to make a temp value and then do the int.parse of the whole inputbox to that?
I was trying to int.parse within the inputbox which must have been the issue.

Thank you :)
