    hello i am having trouble creating a function that determins a winner in tictactoe : so far what ive tried doesnt do any thing , please help?

    source code:
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;


// i still cannot get the program to determin a winnerr

class TICTACTOE
{
    int xplayer ;
    int oplayer;
    colour Cs;
    string sp;
    string ps;
    
public:
    void Board();// will display the main part of the game
    void score();// this will keep the score
    bool checkwin();
    void win();
    void HumanTCT();//this will determine human input
    //void ComputerTCT();//this will alllow the computer to be player 2
   
    
     ;
};

    Please please please, take lines 69 to 77 and put them into a function that you call from the various places where you've naughtily copy and pasted code.
    There's no sense making your program four times longer than it should be.

    To determine your winner perhaps something like stepping through every position from top left and checking if any of the neighbour squares contain the same figure as the current square. If so you need to record the 'direction' the neighbour is in then skip to that neighbour and check if it also has another touching it in the same direction, if so it is three in a row, and a win.
    You will need to check that your search is within array bounds each time.
