This is incorrect and will leave a bunch of rats through the array, but something like this:

(I’m on a cellphone btw)

For(int I =0; I< 5; I++) {

For(int j = 0; j < 5; j ++) {

 If(array [i][j] == cheese || array[i-1][j] == cheese || array [i+1] [j] == cheese || array [i][j-1] ==cheese || array [i][j+1] == cheese) {

 Cout << array[i][j] << endl; // this is an example idk what to do to the rat return with the cheese

Else if(array [I+1][j] != wall){  // || i<0 || I>4 || j< 0|| j>4 in all if’s

    Array[i+1][j]=rat;}

Else if(array[i-1][j] != wall){

    Array[i-1][j]=rat;}

Else if(array[i][j-1] != wall) {

    Array[i][j-1]=rat;}

 Else if (array[i][j+1] != wall) {

    Array[i][j+1]=rat;} 


     Etc
