[Fwd: Re: [Tutor] about the function]

Hi Lin Jin,

you are welcome. You replied to me personally; it is late here, so I am
forwarding it to the list. That way everyone can see your more detailed
question. (You will get much better help from the entire list than from
just me ;-)

Best,

Brian vdB

thx for you reply.so if i want to make a tictactoe game,and i write code
like this:

def drawBoard(marks):
   """Output the board represented by marks."""
   print "0|1|2  ",marks[0],"|",marks[1],"|",marks[2]
   print "-----  ","-----"
   print "3|4|5  ",marks[3],"|",marks[4],"|",marks[5]
   print "-----  ","-----"
   print "6|7|8  ",marks[6],"|",marks[7],"|",marks[8]


def setPosition(position,symbol,marks):
   """Set the particular position to the player's mark symbol."""
   marks=marks[:int(position)]+symbol+marks[int(position)+1:]
   return marks


def playerTurn(symbol,marks):
   """Output the players'symbol choice on the board"""
   symbol=raw_input("Player ")
   position=raw_input("choose where you want to make your mark (0-8): ")
   marks=marks[:int(position)]+symbol+marks[int(position)+1:]
   return marks

print "TIC TAC TOE: "
print "0|1|2  "," | | "
print "-----  ","-----"
print "3|4|5  "," | | "
print "-----  ","-----"
print "6|7|8  "," | | "

how can i implement them in order to let players alternate turn and draws
on the board each turn.i dun know how to get the position and the symbol
from the other function
