As Alexei Frounze has already noted, you should be using data[i][j],
not data[i,j].  data[i,j] means the same as data[j].  If you can't see
why, try looking up "comma operator" in your favourite C or C++ book.

Always compile with warnings enabled (at least -Wall and -W).
Had you done so, the compiler would have pointed out this mistake.
