So for example I have an array like this
100
0-10
000
and I want to move between the -1 and the 1. Lets say that coord[0] is my current row and coord[1] is my current column. How do I craft a statement that would allow me to move in between those numbers?
Edit, I figured it out.
for example, moving down and left, its arr[current number+1][current number+1]

This doesn't match your example. Suppose you are in the upper left corner. Your row is coord[0] and your cell is coord[0][0]. It doesn't make sense to talk about the column alone since you can't reference it alone. (I'm harping on this because I think it is easier to understand as I stated it.)
Now what cell do you want to end up in when you move diagonally? What do you need to coord[x][y] to make that happen?
