randomEmpty() returns a random coordinate on the n x n grid that is empty (Method works). randomAdjacent() uses randomEmpty() to select an EMPTY coordinate on the map. Comparisons are then made to see if this coordinate has an VALID adjacent coordinate that is NON-EMPTY. The PROBLEM is that randomAdjacent does not always return the coordinates of space with an adjacent NON-EMPTY space. It will always return valid coordinates but not the latter. I can't spot the problem. Can someone help me identify the problem?

random[0] = row+1;
