+/* Write a program minesweeper.c that takes in dimensions m and n from the user and a probability p, then generates a Minesweeper board of size m x n where each cell has a probability of p to be a mine (probability is a number between 0 and 1). Each cell that is not a mine contains a number representing how many mines (above, below, left, right, and diagonal) neighbor that "safe" cell. Print the board, representing each mine as an asterisk (*).
+   Your program should check for valid input.
+   Some tips: * You may want to store your board as an integer array, with some constant value for the mines (e.g. 99), then convert the integer representation to a * for printing*/
