c++tic-tac-toe

tic-tac-toe while and ||

hi im 17 and trying to teach myself c++. For one of my first projects I am trying to write a tic-tac-toe game and play vs an AI. So the code im having trouble with is this 

main() {

    char player, computer;

    while (player != 'x' || player != 'o' )
    {
        cout << "do you want to be x or o?";
        cin >> player;
    };

    if (player == 'x' ) computer == 'o';
    else computer == 'x';

    cout << "player is: " << player << endl <<  "computer is: " << computer ;
    cout << computer;
};

I get the message " do you want to be x or o?", but then I enter x or o and it keeps repeating the same question. I think it has to do with the while loop. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • Your loop end condition is wrong, and you shouldn't check until you've asked once.

    do {
    cout << "do you want to be x or o?";
    cin >> player;
} while (player != 'x' && player != 'o');
