moving the pointer

well i am a rookie..i m a school student with a c++ project work to be done..so i basically have a tick tac toc game in mind..i m having one problem with that program..that is moving the pointer from one square to another to fill in the x and o's ..someone plss help :)

Please paste example code that will illustrate your problem.

Why should you even move the pointer? Use the array notation instead.

if it's an array then

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char board[9] = { 'X', 'X', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'X', '0', 'X', '0' };
    char *pboard = &board[0];
    for ( ; pboard != &board[8]; pboard++ ) {
          printf("%c\n", *pboard);
    }
    return 0;
}

---

You mean:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char board[9] = { 'X', 'X', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'X', '0', 'X', '0' };
    char *pboard = &board[0];
    for ( ; pboard != &board[9]; pboard++ ) {
          printf("%c\n", *pboard);
    }
    return 0;
}

xD my bad

Code:

---

for ( ; pboard <= &board[8]; pboard++ ) {

---

doesn't really matter which method though. thanks for pointing it out
