Without arrays? That would to me be harder then doing it using arrays, if i was you i'd learn arrays and pick up from there:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/arrays.html and here: http://www.javatutorialhub.com/java-arrays.html

well, my teacher told me not to use any arrays...he will deduct point if i do. So is there any ways i can do this program without arrays?

Without an array, you'd just have to make 9 separate variables, each corresponding with a row and column on the board. For example
int space11 = 0; //Row 1 Col 1, 0 is an O and 1 is an Xspace12 would be row 1 col 2 and so forth. Then take those as your inputs.
For others out there, I'm new here, so let me know if there is something I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be doing. Hopefully this is ok

This is what i have so far. I think i am using redundant code, is there anyway i can reduce it, if so how?
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TicTac {
static int row, col;
static char topLeft = ' ' ;
static char topCenter = ' ';
static char topRight = ' ';
static char centerLeft = ' ';
static char centerCenter = ' ';
static char centerRight= ' ';
static char bottomLeft = ' ';
static char bottomCenter = ' ';
static char bottomRight = ' ';
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe!");
System.out.println("Rows and columns are numbered 0-2");
System.out.println();
playerTurn();
computerTurn();
}
static void playerTurn() {
char player = 'x';
printGameBoard(player);
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Row:"+ "" );
row = input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Column:"+ "" );
col = input.nextInt();
if(row==0 && col==0){
topLeft = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==0 && col==1){
topCenter = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==0 && col==2){
topRight = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==1 && col ==0){
centerLeft = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==1 && col ==1){
centerCenter = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==1 && col ==2){
centerRight = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==2 && col ==0){
bottomLeft = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==2 && col ==1){
bottomCenter = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else if (row==2 && col ==2){
bottomRight = player;
printGameBoard(player);
}
else {
System.out.println( "Invalid location, try again");
}
}
static void computerTurn() {
}
static boolean gameWon(char player) {
return false;
}
static boolean isValidMove(int row, int col){
return false;
}
static void printGameBoard(char player) {
System.out.println( topLeft + "|" + topCenter + "|" + topRight );
System.out.println( "-+" + "-" + "+-" );
System.out.println( centerLeft + "|" + centerCenter + "|" + centerRight );
System.out.println( "-+" + "-" + "+-" );
System.out.println( bottomLeft + "|" + bottomCenter + "|" + bottomRight );
}
}

That's the use of arrays, to make it less redundant and less complicated :)
But since your not allowed to and if you have no more problems with the code then it should all right the way it is now
