The product of these numbers is 26 × 63 × 78 × 14 = 1788696.
What is the greatest product of four adjacent numbers in any direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonally) in the 20×20 grid?
So the main problem I had here was how to deal with such a huge amount of numbers! I decided to put them in an array but there was a problem there too. All the single digit numbers in the grid were prefixed by a zero so the grid would keep its nice square shape. This caused a major headache for me as a number prefaced by a zero is considered octal in C and C++! So after deleting all the 0's I was set.
Next thing I did was make the code to search through all the numbers looking for the highest multiples. This wasn't too hard but I ran into a bit of bother with the array indexing. Anywhoo, here's my code:
#include
int main()
{
int array[20][20]=

Yes, it's horribly un-optimized but it does the job! That's all for now.
