Game problem - Tic tac toe with multidimensional array

modi365 (3)
hi,
Problems :
1) Is there any way so that i can use "X" and "O" char instead of 9 and 0 int.??
2) if player - 1 choose field 2 . and player - 2 chooses field 2 .. how can i show error and ask for another input ?
3) is there any short coding trick for int check_result(); ?

2) if player - 1 choose field 2 . and player - 2 chooses field 2 .. how can i show error and ask for another input ?
Check if field was already selected and display an error in this case. Wrap it all in a loop to try again.

3) is there any short coding trick for int check_result(); ?
Loops.

1) Is there any way so that i can use "X" and "O" char instead of 9 and 0 int.??
Yes, either output 'x' and 'o' instead of 0 and 9 in output function, or change your array to hold chars and use chars here.

thanks minipaa .. as you suggested, i tried to put it in loop and got success in solving my 2nd problem .
but unfortunately i couldn't make out for problem 1 and 3....
if you can give me some idea on how can loops be used for my problem 3 i.e. long list of codes to check the result ? and
also i don't know how to use enums or any other codes to mark the fields with 'X' and 'O' char instead of '-1' and '0' integers ..if you can help me with some coding suggestion then it will be huge help and motivation for me to think differently and enhance my limits of thinking....
thanks and regards ,
modi. :)

i don't know how to use enums
Enums are glorified integers. It is just more simple to use X and O than -1 and 1 for me. If you want, you can still use integer literals. YOu need to make changes to your display function and output 'X' or 'O' instead of -1 and 0.
Do something like
1
2
 
if (number == -1) std::cout << '0';
//...
