This is my big Code. I am really sorry for this Big Code but I have to post the entire thing so you can help me out. I tried writing if this doesn't equal this then print tie game but for some reason it is not working propely.

Tie Game Code is:

C#

tring [] Array = new String [9];     // Created a new string array which can store up to 9 values.


    for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++){
      Array [i] = " ";
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++){

      // Asking Player 1 for a number between 0-8. The number will then be stored
      // into the variable called otherPlayer which has an assigned value of O.

      System.out.println("Player #1: Please enter a number between 0 to 8");
      int currentPlayer = in.nextInt();
      Array [currentPlayer] = "X";

      // This is an imnporntant code. All the Array represetns a specific number.
      // So, when the playerTwo inputs a number, the number gets stored in otherPlayer.
      // It will then be then put into an array.


      System.out.println("           |          |          ");
      System.out.println("       "+Array[0]+"   |     " +Array[1]+"    |     "+Array[2]+"     ");
      System.out.println("           |          |          ");
      System.out.println("  -------------------------------");
      System.out.println("           |          |          ");
      System.out.println("       "+Array[3]+"   |     " +Array[4]+"    |     "+Array[5]+"     ");
      System.out.println("           |          |          ");
      System.out.println("  -------------------------------");
      System.out.println("           |          |          ");

Why helping on the code which is not written in an accurate way? Repeated code, hard-coded immediate constants, all kind of dirt...
Why do you think someone would like to dig in it? You did not even bother to explain the games of the rule. I could guess, but I don't want to...

Look buddy, I don't care who you are but If you want to help me then help and if you don't then why do you even bother to write all this.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 18-May-15 23:13pm

I bother you to help you. You cannot get much help if you don't want to follow my advice. First, you need to write reasonable code, only then you can fix or improve it. Improving the code you have without rewriting it would lead you nowhere. Better listed to a good friendly advice. It's up to you, of course...

The code looks like it should work, are you saying it's not printing "Tie Game" if the board is filled up without a winner found?

One thing you could try to change is
Array [0] == Array[otherPlayer]
You shouldn't really be comparing strings like that, use the .equals method instead.

Jainam Patel 19-May-15 21:26pm

Well Mine Works. It tells who the winner is. But the problem is when we play tic tac toe there will always be a tie. So I am trying to figure it out how I can check if all the 9 turns are used then print tie game.

To make it more clear let me give you an example.

Say you're playerOne and i am player Two.

We are playing Tic Tac Toe.
U enter a number 0. Then I enter 1. Then u enter 2. Then I enter 3 and so on.....

After we've filed all the boxes of tic tac toe and there is no winner then it is a tie game.

So my question to you is: What do I have to do in order to check if all the boxes are full and there is no winner so we can have a Tie Game. '

If you need mine code. Here is the official and full code.
