Reversi Code Error

[Amethyst]

Hi, I'm a beginner in c++. We were asked to make a reversi game program for two players using loops, char and such. No AI or animation.

I'm having problems with the board. It's not declared and the row, type can't be identified.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;
int inputrow;
int inputcol;
char O;
char X;
char col;
char row;
char board [][];



void playerone ()
{
cout << "Enter row(1-8):";
cin >> inputrow;
cout << "Enter column(1-8):";
cin >> inputcol;
if (board[inputrow][inputcol] ==' ')
{
if (board[inputrow-1][inputcol]!='X'||board[inputrow+1][inputcol]!='X'||board[inputrow][inputcol-1]!='X'||board[inputrow][inputcol+1]!='X'||board[inputrow-1][inputcol-1]!='X'||board[inputrow-1][inputcol+1]!='X'||board[inputrow+1][inputcol-1]!='X'||board[inputrow+1][inputcol+1]!='X')
{
do
{
board [inputrow][inputcol]='X';
if(board[inputrow-1][inputcol]='O')
{
board[inputrow][inputcol='X'];
inputrow--;
}
else if (board[inputrow+1][inputcol]='O')

board[inputrow+1][inputcol]='X';
inputrow++;

You have to specify the size of array when you declare a variable, i.e.

char board[9][9]; // I assume the size of your board is 9x9 

I didn't look through the rest of your code - it's very messy, but perhaps it works :)
