my program is supposed to be an 11 X 11 grid where a mouse is placed on the center square. I am to count all the squares touched (or untouched) until the mouse has occupied every square. I also need to count the number of times the mouse touches the wall. The program will stop when all the squares have been touched.

When i run the program I get the size of the grid =1936 and the number of squares both touched and untouched are 21 and it stops. I was told to set the rand test to 15 until the program is "debugged". I am basically not sure if I have initialized i and j correctly. It is my understanding that to put the mouse down on the center square they would be need to be 5 but i am not sure that's right.

Any suggestions on what I should change in my code in order to get the correct output would be greatly appreciated.
