Tic Tac Toe - passing variables -

My error is happening on line 78 under the [m], it says identifier is undefined. I'm watching tutorial videos to get me through it and I have it set up the same way as them, but I'm running into an error that they seem to not run into

It's because you have a function in a function. Put the moveIsValid function and code outside of the showBoard function. Then delete the extra pair of curly-braces.
When I do that I get a error on line 2 saying 'expected a declaration'

Delete the semicolon after bool moveIsValid(int m).
