Question

Write a program that allows two players to play a game of tic-tac-toe. Use a two dimensional char array with three rows and three columns as the game board. Each element of the array should be initialized with an asterisk (*). The program should run a loop that - Displays the contents of the board array - Allows player 1 to select a location on the board for an X. The program should ask the user to enter the row and column number. - Allows player 2 to select a location on the board for an O. The program should ask the user to enter the row and column number. - Determines whether a player has won, or a tie has occurred. If a player has won, the program should declare that player the winner and end. If a tie has occurred, the program should say so and end. Player 1 wins when there are three Xs in a row on the game board. The Xs can appear in a row, in a column, or diagonally across the board. A tie occurs when all of the locations on the board are full, but there is no winner.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i think it is easy:

1- you declare 2d array

2- fill it with *

3- declare player1Turn =true

4- declare player2Turn =false

5- make while loop where not finished

BS:not Finished would be function return bool that checks the condtions

6-if player1Turn

6.1- player1Turn =false

6.2- player2Turn =true

6.3- call function called play with "player1","X" as args

6-else if player2Turn

6.1- player2Turn =false

6.2- player1Turn =true

6.3- call function called play with "player2","O" as args

5- end while loop
