How do I get rid of the dashes next to the 3, 6, and the 9<?.

Also the last row of "------" and the "|" on the last line so that the
board will look like this<?.

Thanks, it works but it makes a space after that line before the
dashes"------"

I don't know what you mean. If your program is still not
behaving the way you want, post the exact code of it and tell us
what it does, and what you want instead.

Study you function:
How often and when do you output endl ?

I need to get rid of the space under the numbers
Then the line after 7 8 and 9 I need to get rid of the line of
dashes"-----" and the line of "|"

It's looks like this.

If you are posting code here then it is best to post *compilble* code,
and the best way to do that is to cut and paste from your editor into
your usenet post. I don't think that you did that here.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::setw;


void tttboard (int,int) ;
void printboard (int,int) ; [Error]This function is not defined anywhere, and would be better
called printrow() anyway.
void lineofdashes() ;
void linewithnumbers (int, int) ;
void linewithoutnumb ers();

const int Boxwidth = 6;
const int Boxheight = 4;

int main()
{
tttboard (1,9) ;
}

void tttboard (int start, int numberofcells)
{
int first;

first = start;
while (first<=numbero fcells)
{
printboard (first, numberofcells);
first = first+3;
}
linewithoutnumb ers(); [Question]What does this line do? Is it really what you want?

}

void printweek (int first, int numberofcells) void printboard (int first, int numberofcells)
[Error]See above.
{
int i;

linewithoutnumb ers ();
linewithoutnumb ers ();
linewithnumbers (first, numberofcells);
for (i=0; i<Boxheight-3; i++) for (i = 0; i < Boxheight - 3; ++i)
[Style]++i is never slower and sometimes faster than i++. Where you
could use either it is better to get into the habit of using ++i.
lineofdashes ();
} [Error]Every time you call printboard() you unconditionally call
lineofdashes(). So you will get as many lines of dashes as you are
getting rows, which is why you are getting the extra line of dashes at
the bottom of your grid.

You need to think of a way to call printboard() (=printrow()) three
times whie only calling lineofdashes() twice.

void lineofdashes()
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<3*Boxwidth + 2; i++)
cout << "-";
cout << endl;
}
void linewithoutnumb ers()
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<2; i++)
cout << setw(Boxwidth+1 ) << "|";
cout << endl;
}

void linewithnumbers (int first, int numberofcells)
{
int i, cellnumber;

cellnumber = first;
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{ if (i != 0) { cout << '|'; }
[Solution]The first cell on a row does not start with a '|', the other
cells do. if ((cellnumber >0) && (cellnumber <= numberofcells))
cout << setw(Boxwidth) << boxnumber << "|"; cout << setw(Boxwidth) << cellnumber;
[Error]boxnumber is not declared anywhere. You don't want a '|' after
the last cell, so don't put one in. else cout << setw(Boxwidth) << boxnumber << endl; else cout << setw(Boxwidth) << cellnumber << endl;
[Error]Again, boxnumber not declared. cellnumber ++;
}
cout << endl;
}

How many newline characters are you writing after the '3'?
(By 'newline', I mean '\n' or 'endl'.)

--------------------
| |
| |
4| 5| 6
How many newline characters are you writing after the '6'?

--------------------
| |
| |
7| 8| 9
How many newline characters are you writing after the '6'?

--------------------
After you print the '9', simply stop printing anything else.

But I need this......

1| 2| 3

4| 5| 6

7| 8| 9

Try to notice patterns in the above. E.g. 1, 2 and 3 followed
by a line of hyphens; 4, 5, and 6 followed by a line of hyphens.
But 7, 8, and 9 are *not* followed by a line of hyphens. This
means that the same statement or routine should not be used
to print the "7,8,9" row as for the "123" and "456" rows.

I'll let you try to fix it first, then if you're still stuck, I'll
point out where in the code things go awry.

Ready to quit<!!!!>
I got rid of the last line of "|" and now I only have the last line of
"------" to get rid of. but that isn't the problem anymore I need to get
in the cells how to put an 'x' or 'o' as a mark<!!!!.

so if anyone can help me out that would be great
I need to go from this........
