i would of thought you would have been posting here enough to know to post some code and where you are stuck...

I actually editted it out to see how you guys would tackle it xD



I can't find the right statement to sum the second colum, third column etc till the end.

Maybe I'm looking at it from a bad angle?

/e still trying to find a way to sum the rest of the array,.

Found the solution after some hardcore testing xD

System.out.println(a + "" + b);

if(a == A.length-1 & b == A.length-1)
return A[a][b];

if(a <= b & b != A.length || a>b)
return A[a][b] + ArraySum(A, a, b+1);

if(b == A.length)
return ArraySum(A, a+1, 0);

return 0;

if anyone is intrested

sum of an nxn array is just the sum of an n-1 x n-1 array plus the sum of the remaining n-length row/column

My code works, Don't know if it's the best one, but it's 10000000x better than the TA's solutions online. Her code is just fucking terrible I cringed and cried when I saw it.
