URGENT!!!! help with array element comparing
ok so i'm writing a program that is to create an 8x8 2d array and fill said array with randomly generated numbers between 0-3, then i have to print said array to the screen. i have these parts dead on, working everytime. now my issue becomes that i have to compare elements in each row, column, diagonal, and sub diagonal to gleen if there are 3 or more consecutive numbers. i then have to print out the row, column, diagonal or sub diagonal containing the consecutive digits and then tell what number is repeated the required min of 3 times. THATS where i am stuck. I have no clue how to do this without just hard coding the whole thing. PLEASE help, this is due very very soon and i am sooooo lost. everything has to be in its own method.
here is what i have so far:

now my problem is when it finds one set of consecutive numbers on a line or column, it stops checking the rest and ends that method....why is that? why wont it check the other lines after the initial find? any ideas?
Re: URGENT!!!! help with array element comparing
Sorry, but nobody is going to want to read through all that code. If you want help, you'll have to boil it down to an SSCCE- just a few lines that demonstrates your specific question. Chances are, in the process of creating the SSCCE, you'll actually figure out the problem yourself.
PS- Putting things like "urgent" or "need help as soon as possible" actually decreases your chances of getting help. Everybody's question is urgent to them, so putting it in your title makes it seem like you think your time is more important than anybody else's.
