A simple Java challenge. This really stumped me the first time I ran across it. I made it work but looking at the code made absolutley no sense. Give it a try and let me know how you do.

Consider the following values:

 8  1  3 
 4  0  2 
 7  6  5 

1. Store the values in a two-dimensional array of int.
2. Move the 0 up by modifying a single index and swapping two values.
3. Print the result.

 8  0  3 
 4  1  2 
 7  6  5 

Rules.

1. You may only use Java.
2. You may only use a single array of type int[][].
3. All intermediate variables must be int.
4. You may only use the operators +, -, =, ++, --, or ==.
5. You may not use any libraries other that System.out to print a result.

Question. Did you get it the first try?

Hint. There is an important distinction between values of a 2D array and cartesian space.
