Nim program.

[JosAH]

Can somebody please post the correct way to do this.. so that it will work for my program?

No we can't; at least I can't because you or your uncle or whoever had forbidden
to use the most elementary features present in Java to solve such a little problem.
The result of the (if possible) solution to this little problem will be just an ugly
beast; accepting wrong things, overlooking incorrect input and what else besides
a lot of repeating code. At least all those loops where removed in showing the
current board; I won't show you other uglyness in order to get rid of all those
other silly loops because it ain't worth it. Give it a try yourself because you
haven't accomplished much yourself (yet).

kind regards,

Jos
