hi all,im new here and im a beginner at c++, im making a simple tic tac toe program, and its not working properly, it cant determine the winner,could someone please help.
heres the code

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<graphics.h>

    }
}
getch();
}

also i wasnt able to use graphics to draw a grid, could someone please tell how to do that.im using turbo C++,also if someone could give a simpler code for determing the winner or draw match,it would be very helpful.
thank you

Your code is really hard to look at. But from your question : "cant
determine the winner" I figure that the winner checker is not working.
There are 2 things you can do.

Option1 : Make a hard-coded function that checks for winner
Option2 : create a for loop to that checks the winner.

I would say Option1 is easier. So For now, you should get that working.

To check for winner you need to first create a function like so :

bool checkForWinner(const char *Board[3], const char key){
 if( Board[0][0] == key && Board[0][1] == key && Board[0][2] == key)
    return true;
 //and so one
}

Thats the hard-coded way. Try and see if you can get that working.
Also try to make your code neater and easier to read.

commented: Yes, that code desperately needs functions. +19
