Game Logic

Tic Tac Toe is played on a 3x3 grid. Players take turns marking a spot on the grid with their respective symbols ('X' or 'O'). The game ends when:

• A player successfully marks three spots in a row, column, or diagonal.
• All spots are filled without any player achieving the above condition, resulting in a draw.

Code Explanation

TicTacToe Class

The TicTacToe class encapsulates the game logic and handles the game board, player turns, and checking win/draw conditions.

Attributes:

• board[3][3]: A 3x3 array representing the game board.
• currentPlayer: Character representing the current player ('X' or 'O').

Methods:

• Constructor: Initializes the board with empty spaces and sets the first player to 'X'.

• displayBoard(): Displays the current state of the board. The grid is formatted with clear lines separating the cells.

• checkWin(): Checks all rows, columns, and diagonals to see if the current player has won the game. Returns true if a win condition is met.

• checkDraw(): Checks if the board is full without any player winning, indicating a draw. Returns true if the game is a draw.

• switchPlayer(): Switches the current player from 'X' to 'O' or vice versa after each turn.

• takeInput(): Prompts the current player to choose a position on the board. It validates the input to ensure it is within the range (1-9) and that the selected cell is not already occupied.

• playGame(): The main game loop. It handles the game flow, displaying the board, taking input, checking win/draw conditions, and switching players.

Main Function

The main function creates an instance of the TicTacToe class and starts the game by calling the playGame() method.
