But it is wrong, indeed.
Look at the following sample - 5 3
What is the answer? 7? No, it's 8!

1 1 1 2 3
4 4 4 2 3
5 6 * 2 3
5 6 7 7 7
5 6 8 8 8

thanks a lot So can u tell me a hint?

Your formula don't work with 5 3. The answer is 8 like this:

1 1 1 3 4 but your program outputs (25 - 4) / 3 = 7
2 2 2 3 4
5 6 0 3 4
5 6 7 7 7
5 6 8 8 8
