Question

What would cause my program to execute the first if statement no problem, but the second it is throwing array out of index for some reason:

//Player 1 won on row 1
if (theBoard[0,0] == 1 && theBoard[0,1] ==1 && theBoard[0,2] ==1) {
return 1;
}
//Player 2 won on row 1
if (theBoard[0,0] == 0 && theBoard[0,1] ==0 && theBoard[0,2] ==0) {
return 1;
}

Answer 1

It's throwing an Array out of index could be for the following reason:

1. The array is not initialized correctly.

2. Array size is nor defined properly as it should be at least arr[3][3] as per the statements above.

3. Array values are not defined for the index you are trying to access.

Please provide the complete program to check the other causes of the error.
