title: Java programming - nested for loops for minesweeper game
body: <p>Currently making a minesweeper game and stuck on being able to loop through the 8 surrounding cells to find the number of surrounding bombs. I have a helper method that I believe works fine that is used to check if the cell (passed by numberOfAdjacentBombs) contains a bomb. How do I go about creating a nested for loop that will loop through each surrounding cell? e.g (row-1, col-1), (row-1, col), (row-1, col+1).</p>
  
  <p>Any help or hints is appreciated, thanks! :-)    </p>
  
  <pre><code> private int numberOfAdjacentBombs(int row, int col){
   int count = 0;
   //nested for loop
   count += getIfBomb(int, int)
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The helper method checks if the cell contains a bomb and returns 1 if it does, 0 if it doesn't.</p>
  
  <pre><code>private in getIfBomb(int row, int col){
   if(cells[row][col].getHasBomb() == true){
    return 1;
  }else{
    return 0;
   }
  }
  </code></pre>
