Thread: trouble with the tic tac toe grid

Hi everyone!
I trying to write a code for tic tac toe game,trying to form the grid and place the character in the specified location.The problem is that,for example when I try to place the character in 2nd row,2nd col and if 2nd row and 3rd col already has a char,it get shifted out of the grid.Could you please help me understand this better,I am trying to change spaces but it's not helping.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int grid[3][3];
void block()
{
    int row,col;
    printf("\t\ttic tac toe\n");
    for(row=1;row<=3;row++)
    {
        printf("\t\t___________________\n");
        printf("\t\t|     |     |     |\n");
        for(col=1;col<=3;col++)
        {
            if(grid[row][col]==1)
            {
                if(col==1)
                printf("\t\t   1");




                else if(col==2)
                printf("\t\t         2");


                else
                printf("\t\t               3");


            }


        }




    printf("\n");
    printf("\t\t|     |     |     |\n");
    }
    printf("\t\t___________________\n");


}
int main()
{
    int i,row,col;
    block();
    for(row=1;row<=3;row++)
    {
        for(col=1;col<=3;col++)
        grid[row][col]=0;
    }
    for(i=0;i<9;i++)
    {
        printf("enter the row no.\n");
        scanf("%d",&row);
        printf("enter the col no\n");
        scanf("%d",&col);
        grid[row][col]=1;
        block();
    }
    return 0;
}

So you just need to draw exactly that, every time you need to redraw the board. The character you draw depends if it's empty (a space), if it's an X (put an x) or an O (put an o).
