  • Have you stepped through the code with a debugger yet? Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 1:00
  • I agree stepping through the code with a debugger could help with your understanding. You might also want to brush up on the concept of assignment statements, as the code isn't assigning x=j, it's assigning x=j*squaresize. Also, while a single column is a vertical arrangement of items, multiple columns are aligned horizontally with each other. Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 1:07
  • I am sorry, I haven't learned how to do that yet actually. I'm following the Stanford cs106a class and the debugger is being taught later on in the course. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to just get familiar with it now though. Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 1:09

    Are you sure you want to use <= in the for loops? Wouldn't this create a 9x9 board instead of an 8x8 board? Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 1:27
  • You are definitely correct about that, I was trying to write the code from memory above and made that mistake, thanks for the notice. Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 1:34
