I have a multidimensional array of 16 rows and 60 columns per row called 'weights'.
I have an array of 16 rows called 'error'.
I assume the first element in the 'error' array has the lowest error and I'll call that element 'lowest' (no variable)
While the number of the row is less than 16
  if the next element of 'error is less than 'lowest'
    Switch values of 'lowest' and current element
    While X is 0 and X is less than 60
      Switch values of rows of same index as 'lowest' and the current element in the 'weights' array
      X increases by 1
