if ((turn==1)&&(board[0]!=''X'')&&(board[0]!=''O'')){board[0]=''X''; break;}
else ((board[0]!=''X'')&&(board[0]!=''O''));{board[0]=''O''; continue;}
what does this all mean ???

I ask some people while back about a ttt code to check to see if a space has been taking, this is what they suggested:
if ((turn==1)&&(board[0]!=''X'')&&(board[0]!=''O'')){board[0]=''X''; break;}
This line is saying
IF turn is = 1
and board[0] is not = to ''X''
and board[0] is not = to ''0''
THEN
set board[0]=''X''
and then break;
Break means jump out of any loop that the code is in. For example:
for(int x=0; x<100; x++){
if(x==50)
break;
}
this will loop up to 50 and then it will jump out of the loop because of the break statement.
then the line:
else ((board[0]!=''X'')&&(board[0]!=''O''));{board[0]=''O''; continue;}
this says:
If the first if wasn''t true THEN
IF board[0] not = ''X''
AND board[0] not = ''0''
THEN
board[0]=O;
continue in the loop;
I hope this helps.

Yes it does... so && is and, ! is not. Can i only use break in switch statements or in any loop. Also when I run the code it sets the spot where the first player chooses to an ''0'' and not an ''X'', and if a space is an ''X'' and the first player chooses the same place it turns into an ''O'' I don''t know why. The other thing is how can I print to the screen to tell the player to choose a different spot when in the switch statements. Here is my whole ttt code:

You can use 'break' to break from any loop.
Since your using C you would print to the screen like this ...
printf("Choose a different spot");

Hmm I tried the code and still no luck. Wouldn''t it go to the first statement and bypass the printf if the first one is true.
ugh don''t code a switch if you don''t need it.
and if you do, use ''1'', ''2''... etc otherwise it''ll never work.
and if you do, use ''1'', ''2''... etc otherwise it''ll never work.
char PlayerToken[2] = {''O'', ''X''};scanf("%i",&move);if (Board[move-1] == 0) Board[move-1] = PlayerToken[turn-1];
Ohh my gosh im such a twit sometimes ...
forget what i said before ...
The reason the 'O' s are replacing the 'X's could be because your 'else' statements are wrong ...
you need to remove the semi colons from the end of all the 'else' lines and make them into 'else if's'.
like this ...
else ((board[0]!='X')&&(board[0]!='O'));
{
board[0]='O';
continue;
}
should be ...
else if ((board[0]!='X')&&(board[0]!='O'))
{
board[0]='O';
continue;
}
Hope that helps.
sorry about before.

De Morgans laws1. !(a && b) == (!a || !b)2. !(a || b) == (!a && !b)To not a logical expression, not both terms and change the logical operator. Apply this rule recursively as needed. [edited by - lessbread on July 8, 2003 4:13:35 AM]
Hey librab103, i took the liberty of making a few modifications to make it a little more readble.
Hopefully its helpful to you...
