swapping in a matrix

[iamboredguy]

I have a code in which I want to swap an element in a matrix with another. User inputs the row, column no of the elements to be swapped. But the code doesn't seem to work. Can somebody help?
PS: The swapping starts in the snigleplayer() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>

int a[10][10]={0};

void newgame();
void loadgame();

int main()
{
 mainmenu();
 return 0;
}

void mainmenu()
{
	int choice;
	do
	{
    system("cls");
	printf("\t\tSliding Numbers\n\t\tMenu\n\t\t1. Start a new game\n\t\t2. Load a game\n\t\t3. Exit");
    printf("\n\t\t Enter a choice: ");
	scanf("%d", &choice);
	switch (choice)
	{
	 case 1: newgame(); break;
	 case 2: loadgame(); break;
	 case 3: printf("\n\nGoodbye\n"); exit(0);
	 default: printf("\nInvalid Choice\n"); system("PAUSE"); break;
	}
	} while (choice<1 || choice>3);
}

void newgame()
{
 int n, holes, noofelements, rowpos, colpos, choice;

 srand(time(NULL));

>>swap an element in a matrix with another

As an example, if you had a matrix like this:
int matrix[3][3];

and you wanted to swap the element in the third row and second column with the element in the first row and first column then you could do something like this:

int temp;
temp = matrix[2][1];
matrix[2][1] = matrix[0][0];
matrix[0][0] = temp;

I know that part. I did that. but it apparently does not work.
