//I have been assigned a project that requires me to make a connect four game.
//It must be a 2 player game and each player must be able to enter in their 'pieces'. When player one enters in a position on the board(2 dimensional array) that position will be assigned the character 'G'. Vice versa for player 2 but they will enter in a 'x' in the position they enter from the keyboard.
board starts out looking like
Terminal:

//6x7 board
Example with players.
Enter in position player 1: 0,2
Enter in position player 2: 6,0

//Please help locate any possible errors.Thanks

Have you played Connect4? You can't place a piece at (0,2). You place a piece in a column and it drops to the bottom. You have described an extended noughts and crosses game.
