I made a 10×10 tic-tac-toe program and the winner is the player who has 5 marked in a row,column and diagonals. When I put ‘X’ or ‘O’ in the first column, which is 0, or the last column, which is 9, for example: 8 0, 9 0, 0 9. There will be a second mark on the other column which are 8 0->7 9, 9 0->8 9, 0 9->1 0.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0| | | | | | | | | | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1| X | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6| | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
7| | | | | | | | | | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
8| X | | | | | | | | | O |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
9| O | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

I tried looking again at the printBoard() function to check if i misstyped any matrix position but i didn’t see any
>Solution :
You have to specify not the maximum index but the number of elements when you declare arrays in C.
The available indice for the array char board[9][9]; is 0 to 8 for each dimension.
Allocate enough elements like char board[10][10]; to fix the error.
