More efficient and easy way to print the 2D array in a formatted way:
Try this:
public static void print(int[][] puzzle) {
for (int[] row : puzzle) {
for (int elem : row) {
System.out.printf("%4d", elem);
}
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println();
}
Sample Output:
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15
