C Program to design a TIC TAC TOE game

C Program to design a TIC TAC TOE game

In this example, we will see a C program through which we can make a TIC TAC TOE game.

In this program two users can play this game and after completing the game program will show the winner user name. This program will be created using the Two-Dimensional Array.
