problem with array sorting - urgent responce needed, due tommrow

[trs]

thanks for reading this.
problem:
logical error is preventing array from sorting right
code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
struct coords
{
int x;
int y;
};
coords smallestNumber(int A[][30], int startr, int startc, int size);
void GetRandom(int A[][30], int size);
void SortArray(char major, int A[][30], int size);
void PrintArray(int A[][30], int size);
void swapMeet(coords Old, coords n3w, int A[][30]);
int temp[750];
int main()
{

coords currentSmall;
int grid1[25][30];

GetRandom(grid1,25);
PrintArray(grid1,25);
currentSmall = smallestNumber(grid1, 0, 0, 25);
SortArray('c',grid1,25);

cout << endl << endl << "Sorted array:\n";
PrintArray(grid1,25);
cout << endl << endl << "Row Major:\n";
SortArray('R',grid1,25);
PrintArray(grid1,25);

}

void GetRandom(int A[][30], int size)
{
int count = 749;
for(int i = 0;i <= size -1; i ++)
{

}
}
}

void SortArray(char major, int A[][30], int size)
{

{

swapMeet(index, currentsmallest, A);
//cout << "(" << currentsmallest.x << "," <<

//swapMeet(index, temp, A);
}
}
}

<< "):" << A[Old.x][Old.y] << " > " << A[n3w.x][n3w.y] << endl;
}
A[Old.x][Old.y] = A[n3w.x][n3w.y];
A[n3w.x][n3w.y] = temp;
}

coords smallestNumber(int A[][30], int startr, int startc, int size)
{
coords temppoint;
int min = A[startr][startc], indexr = startr, indexc = startc;
int count = 0;//take out later
for ( int i = startr; i <= size -1;i++)

}

return temppoint;
}

void PrintArray(int A[][30], int size)
{
//PrintArray prints out the array on the screen; each row per line
//also we require each number occupies exactly 3 characters with
//right alighment
for (int i = 0;i <= size - 1; i++)
{

thanks for reading this.
problem:
logical error is preventing array from sorting right

Some comments:
- It would have been nice if you had used some words on what the output
should have been and where the actual output differ.
- Have you tried using a debugger ?
- Have you tried running the algorithm with a smaller data set (which would
make debugging easier) ?
- Why dont you use a sort function from a library ? (Is it homework ?)

Couldn't "due tomorrow" be a hint?

yeah it was homework i ended up going about it in a completly
diffrent way, but i would still like to know what i did wrong

Hey, if you got time now, it would be beneficial for you to locate your
mistakes yourself... Divide and conquer. Split your code into sections
and make sure every section works as you intended it and that they talk
to each other correctly...

The first thing you should do, is:
cut down the data amount. Instead of debugging with a
25*25 array, do the very same thing with, lets say,
4*4. Now you have much more chance to step through with
your debugger, paper and pencil and figure out what goes wrong.

PS: For the very same reason, I will not debug your code.
I see no point in running through hundreds of loop iterations,
just to get at the one, where things go wrong.

PS: Up to now, you havn't said why you consider your program
to be buggy. What is the problem you are facing?
