The key is to generalize like mad!
- Force your code to deal with any square puzzle.
- Strive to reuse the same code for rows and columns.
Additional tips:
- Make it object-oriented to reduce parameter-passing clutter.
- Use 0-based indexing for row and column numbers.
- Avoid
ArrayList
— your lists aren't going to grow. Arrays have tidier syntax and better performance.
