assignment output issues (chessboard)

[sezo]

This is the assignment http://venus.cs.qc.edu/~waxman/211/fancy%20print%20chessboard%20assignment%20how%20to.pdf

I'm having issues with the print: it is printing the board multiple times instead of once, and i am having issues with the queen printing on the boxes of the board.

**I TRIED USING THE CODE OPTION FOR THE CODE BUT IT ISN'T WORKING?**

print(b);
c--;
}

if (b[c] == 8)
{
c--;
if (c == -1) exit(1);
else continue;
}
if ((isok(b, c)) == false) continue;
break;
} //end of infinite for loop

} //end of while loop

return 0;
