Write a two-player tic-tac-toe game; use enums when possible to represent the values

[mp252]

Here is the code I have written so far. My problem is that when the second user enters its position the last user's position is wiped of the board. I want to know how I can hold that position and keep doing so until the game is finished. I thought that calling the previous function would do that (and you can see where I have put that into a comment) but it doesn't. thanks

You seem to be confusing what enum is. It is essentially a type which can only take on values that you have specified. It isn't a variable and is not meant to hold state.
What is probably expected is that you create some array to hold the state of the board. Now, since the board can only hold very specific amount of states, this is where you can use an enum.
