ok, so im doing a c++ programing class at my online school, right now, it needs me to make a second version of the tic tac toe program i just made, and have player 2 be the second player, and im having a bit of trouble sending the random number as player 2's move, atm, i have something that i would think works, however, when building, it outputs, a trillion error's (not really, its just a lot of error's most of them being the same thing

would be awesome if you guys could help
here's some of the error's i get:
1 2 3 4 5

You seem to have confused the insertion operator (<<) with the extraction operator (>>). (The former inserts data into a stream and the latter extracts data from a stream and stores it elsewhere.) There is no overload of the insertion operator for operands of types std::basic_istream<char> and int.
ok, ive ran into a new problem, the computer doesnt change its number, so for example, lets say on turn 1, the computer chose slot 1, on turn 2, its still set for slot 1, so the game gets stuck at that point, as its an invalid move

That is because the variable that is initialized to the pseudo-random number is never changed during the lifetime of the program.
Here are two solutions:
1) Have a container object that contains the numbers of the spaces that have not yet been used. When it is the computer's turn, randomly choose a number from the container and then erase the chosen element.
2) If it is the computer's turn, perform a modulus operation on the value returned by rand and the number of spaces on the board (8); assign the resulting value to the variable Move. Then check the validity of the Move variable using the function you defined. If the move is valid, continue. Otherwise, generate a new value.
