Question

I wanted to print in C my player turn and the number [# PL<depending on the player> (turn of the player)] I wanted to start with # PL1 (1), in the next move # PL2 (1), after # PL1 (2) and then returning to # PL2 (2) so on... How can I make it?

Answer 1

take an integer value say turn and assign an initial value to it.

turn = 1;

Now increment the turn after both the players had their turn.

turn++;

To print the turn in the above format, use

printf("# PL%d (%d)", i, turn);

Here i is the index of the player which has the turn.

You would have to use 2 loops, like:

turn = 1;

while(true) {

for(int i = 1; i <= 2; ++i) {

  printf("# PL%d (%d)", i, turn);

}

turn++;

if(any player wins or turns are over) {

break;

}

}

Note: if you are using the above while loop, do use the break statement otherwise it will end up in an infinite loop.

Hope this helps.
