hey guys, its me again. well this is my whole program so far. i have been trying to figure out what is the problem and why isnt it compiling and just overall, trying to make it work. hope you guys can assist me again. thanks.
code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 9
#define F 4

void print_board ( char board[N][N] ) {
int r, c;
for ( r = 0 ; r < N ; r++ ) {
for ( c = 0 ; c < N ; c++ ) {
printf( "( %c )", board[r][c] );
}
printf( "\n" );
}
}

int check_for_line ( char board[N][N], int start_r, int start_c )
{
int r1, c1;

for ( r1 = -1 ; r1 <= 1 ; r1++ )
{
for ( c1 = -1 ; c1 <= 1 ; c1++ )
{
int i, r, c;

if ( r1 == 0 && c1 == 0 ) continue;

for ( i = 1 ; i < F ; i++ )
{
r = start_r + r1 * i;
c = start_c + c1 * i;

if ( r < 0 || r >= N ) break;
if ( c < 0 || c >= N ) break;

if ( board[r][c] != 'X' || board[r][c] != 'O') break;
}

if ( i == F )
return 1;
else return 0;
}
}
}

void check ( char board[N][N] )
{
int r, c;
for ( r = 0 ; r < N ; r++ )
{
for ( c = 0 ; c < N ; c++ )
{
if ( board[r][c] == 'X' || board[r][c] == 'O' )
{
check_for_line( board, r, c );
}
}
}
}

int player(char board[N][N])
{
int sel,i;

print_board( board );

printf("Type a number between 1 and %d to make a move: ",N);scanf("%d",&sel);
for ( i = N-1 ; i >= 0 ; i-- )
{
if (board[i][sel-1] == ' ')
{
board[i][sel-1] = 'X';break;
}
}
if(check( board )==1)
{
printf("You Win!\n");
printf("The Final Board: \n");
print_board( board );
return 1;
}
else
return 0;
}

int computer(char board[N][N])
{
int sel1,i;

srand(time(NULL));
sel1=rand()%N+1;

printf("Computer selects column number %d\n",sel1);

for ( i = N-1 ; i >= 0 ; i-- )
{
if (board[i][sel1-1] == ' ')
{
board[i][sel1-1] = 'O';break;
}
}
if( check( board )==1 )
{
printf("Computer wins!\n");
printf("The Final Board: \n");
print_board( board );
return 1;
}
else
return 0;
}
int main (void)
{
char board[N][N];
int i,j;

printf("Welcome to Connect %d\n",F);


for(i=0;i<N;i++)
for(j=0;j<N;j++)
board[i][j]=' ';

do(

player(board);
computer(board);

)while(player(board)!=1 || computer(board)!=1);

return 0;
}

For one thing, your "do" loop in main needs {} not ()...

Also, your check function you declared as void (not returning a value) and then you try to compare it to 1... you need to declare it as an "int" and then add a return statement to it that will send back a return value.

ok thanx. i changed the DO brakets but it still dont work. thanx anywayz. can anybody else assist me. thank you
