I'm having trouble finding the error in my code it plays a game that has some rules i am getting a slightly different output please help.

Your task is to write a program that plays the game of life. This game is a computer simulation of the life and death events in a population of single-cell organisms. Each position in a two-dimensional grid (Petri dish) can support one cell. The program determines whether each position will be able to support life in the next generation.

The grid of cells is represented by a boolMatrix object. In other words, you are writing a program that USES the boolMatrix class. No changes should be made to the code in boolmatrix.h or boolmatrix.cpp! (You'll be adding documentation to those files, of course, but no changes to the code unless you are correcting an error.) The starting grid is generation 0 and is read from a supplied input file. Most positions in the grid have 8 neighbors like the center square in a tic-tac-toe game. The four corner positions have only 3 neighbors each. The remaining positions around the edge of the grid have 5 neighbors each. The rules for the state of each position in the next generation of the grid are as follows:

If the cell is currently empty:

If the cell has exactly three living neighbors, it will come to life in the next generation.

If the cell has any other number of living neighbors, it will remain empty.

If the cell is currently living:

If the cell has one or zero living neighbors, it will die of loneliness in the next generation.

If the cell has four or more living neighbors, it will die of overcrowding in the next generation.

If the cell has two or three neighbors, it will remain living.

All births and deaths occur simultaneously. This point is critical to the correct result.
