Hi everyone,
I noticed an earlier tic tac toe program, but my particular problem is slightly different. I am using bloodshed to compile this bad boy and I am getting weird results. I have narrowed the problem down to my already suspect if statements that compare the board array elements to see if we have a winner. Eventually I will add a return 0 statement to finish off the program when a winner is declared, but for now there is a problem.
I have taken out the if statements and everything enters in correctly and prints correctly including input validation.
The weird problem is when I use the if statements to check for a winner, it automatically declares player one the winner and places an X in elements (0,0), (0,1), and (0,2). When I changed the top line in the if statement to (1,0), (1,1), and (1, 2) it places Xs in those respective elements. Somehow it is still checking for a winner and declaring a winner.
Basically, can I even write my if statement like this or is something wrong with the way it is laid out? Although I imagine this comes with the territory, but is there a cleaner way that I could put this last piece of the puzzle together or "should" it work?
Many thanks everyone.
Sorry about the formatting on those statements, it is showing up properly on my compiler. Also, the wincheck function was being used earlier as an attempt to do the same thing, but I decided to try and directly input the if/else winner statements and just commented it out for now.
