Hi Niyana,

We need to pinpoint where you're getting confused.  I get confused for
all sorts of different reasons myself, so forgive me if this sounds
really basic.   :P

I will ignore your code entirely for the moment.

Do you know what the output is supposed to look like for small inputs?

  * What should the program output look like when rows=2 and columns=2?
  * What should the program output look like when rows=2 and columns=3?
  * What should the program output look like when rows=3 and columns=2?

The inputs are small enough that you should be able to write what you
know the program should do, even before trying to teach the computer
how to do it.

Let's make sure we understand the problem we're trying to solve before
rushing to code it.
