Need help with a tic tac toe program

[rcast]

Gotta have a semicolon (;) after the do....while(condition); conditional.

You show

do {
...
} while (condition)

It should be:

do {
......
} while (condition);

Also I see no playAgain variable definition in main

I just changed it to while(true) and it worked. Thanks so much for the help guys. It worked like a charm!

[rcast]

no problem. Good luck

Well..I think I spoke a bit prematurely before. I have one tiny problem left. The program restarts whether the users selects 'y' to play again or 'n' to end the program. I'm not really sure how to go about it fixing this, but I imagine it'd be easy for someone who knows more about this.

int main () 
{
const int row = 3;
const int col = 3;
int count = 1;
char board[row][col] = {BLANK};
int checkwin = CheckWinner(board);
int againPlay;

getNames();
do
{

InitializeBoard(board);
PrintBoard(board);


while (true) 
{

PlayX(board);
PrintBoard(board);
checkwin = CheckWinner(board);
if ((checkwin == X)||(checkwin == BLANK))
break;

PlayO(board);
PrintBoard(board);
checkwin = CheckWinner(board);
if ((checkwin == O)||(checkwin == BLANK))
break;
}

if (checkwin == X)
{
    cout << name1 << " has won!" << endl;
    
}
else if (checkwin == O) {
	cout << name2 << " has won!" << endl;
        
}
else if (checkwin == BLANK){
    cout << "The game ends in a tie!" << endl;
    

}


playAgain();
}

while(playAgain);

return 0;
}

I have the do while loop set to while(playAgain), so I'm not sure what the problem is.

You aren't using the bool returned by playAgain().

You can do:

bool again = true;
do
{
  // things
  again = playAgain();
} while (again);

// Or

do
{
  // things
} while (playAgain());  // Calling the function here

// You can not do:
do
{
  // things
  bool again = playAgain();
} while (again);
