TicTacToe 2D Array

Can someone please help me. I cannot for the life of me figure out the right way to make sure the same spot on the board isn't chosen again. Thanks in advance!

if(Gboard[ROW][COL] != 'X' || Gboard[ROW][COL] != 'O'){


   // code to set the row and col

}


// rest of code maybe prompt user that the choosen row col is taken and ask them to re-enter their choice.



Play around with this.
