So I am working out a problem from Beginning C++ through game programming. I wrote my tic tac toe code with global variables and now I am trying to rewrite it without them. However, when I try to pass them through ass arguments from main I get all heaps of problems. Here is my code with globals:
I got it fixed !

Well, to be honest I'm not finding much wrong here. It would be a different story if the game board or such were a global variable. Named constants don't really present the same problems as global variables do.
I'm sorry I meant to say that this code works 100% fine, but I am trying to remove lines 1-6 and that is what I am having problems with doing. It was easy to write this with those variables but sticking them in main and parsing them through as arguments is where I get a lot of problems.Originally Posted by whiteflags

Yes there is a lot of renaming, but 12 functions in a row achieving the same "purpose" on a like-for-like basis.
I'm wondering how much original effort is in this code.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I understood correctly. In my opinion, there is no reason to refine the scope of those constants. As I said, named constants do not present the same problems that global variables do. If you insist on changing it, then you will have to pass the constants around as arguments, and the parameters of the functions also have to be constant. Again, it would buy you nothing in my opinion.I'm sorry I meant to say that this code works 100% fine, but I am trying to remove lines 1-6 and that is what I am having problems with doing.
Salem, this is a problem in the book I mentioned by Michael Dawson, he provides a tutorial on this problem.
Whiteflags, oh okay thank you!
