Question

Objective: To write a program to allow a game of Tic Tac Toe to be played, and to determine when the game is over

Complete the TicTacToe program below. It will allow for a full game of Tic Tac Toe between two players, and it will tell you who won or if the game is over with no winner.

Details:

• The TicTacToe board is stored in a 3x3 multidimensional list of characters containing spaces at the start of the game (an empty board). Each time a player makes a move, an 'X' or 'O' is put in the proper location in the array.
• Your "clear" function should initialize the board to store spaces
• Your "display" function should display the board, with gridlines between each position (using the characters '-' and '|', which are not stored in the array)
• Your "takeTurn" function should ask the user to enter amove, and check for errors in input. Specifically, you should check for the following 2 kinds of errors:
  1. Row or Column is out of range (less than 0 or greater than 2)
  2. Specified position is already occupied (a player can only move to an empty spot)
  If either of the above errors are found, the same player should be asked to re-enter their move until they get it right.
• Your "winner" function should examine the board and return one of the following characters:
  • ' ' (a space) meaning the game is not yet over
  • 'X' meaning that player X has won
  • 'O' meaning that player O has won
  • '?' meaning that the game is over because the board is full, but no one won.
• I recommend you write some helper functions to help with all the various pieces of this program. Remember you should never copy and paste code if you can avoid it. Write a function to perform a common, generalizable task, and call that function every time you need it.
• As always, don't use any global variables.
• Following is the beginning of the TicTacToe program and an example of how your program should behave. You should copy this TicTacToe.cpp file exactly and use it as a starting point and to test your code once you've finished it.
