Question

Hello,

I am working on my final and I am stuck right near the end of the the program. I am making a Tic-Tac-Toe game and I can't seem to figure out how to make the program ask if you would like to play again, and keep the same names for the players that just played, keep track of the player that wins, and display the number of wins said player has, after accepting to keep playing.

I am wanting the scores to be next to the names of the players after the :

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

The variables int player1Score; and int player2Score; were the names I was trying to use. Feel free to change them to what you want.

Here is the code I have so far:

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int winner();
void board();
void clearGame();
int i;
char symbol;
char box[10] = { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' };
int player = 1;
int playersChoice;
int player1Score;
int player2Score;
string player1;
string player2;

int winner()
{
   if (box[1] == box[2] && box[2] == box[3])
   {
       return 1;
   }
   else if (box[4] == box[5] && box[5] == box[6])
   {
       return 1;
   }
   else if (box[7] == box[8] && box[8] == box[9])
   {
       return 1;
   }
   else if (box[1] == box[4] && box[4] == box[7])
   {
       return 1;
   }
   else if (box[2] == box[5] && box[5] == box[8])
   {
       return 1;
