Question

In basic C please with comments so I can redo It on my own, thank you!

For this lab, you only need to write a single user-defined function that analyzes a 2D array of chars. You do NOT need to write any of the code in main() that calls your function. Make sure to use the template and only add code to the user-defined function.

Write a function win() with the following definition (i.e. prototype):

int win(char board[7][5], char player)

The function win() should return a 1 if the character player is found in three consecutive positions in the board. Consecutive for this lab means in the same row or in the same column, NOT on a diagonal.

For the board shown below,

A    B   B   D   E
Z    A   B   G   G
Z    B   A   G   G
Z    Z   X   G   K
X    X   O   K   O
X    X   O   O   W
A    B   B   D   E

the following values should be returned by win() if called as:

• win(board,'A') returns 0
• win(board,'B') returns 0
• win(board,'D') returns 0
• win(board,'G') returns 1
• win(board,'O') returns 0
• win(board,'X') returns 0
• win(board,'Z') returns 1

Note: for testing, the board shown above can by copied and pasted into the input box when in Develop mode. Additionally in the input box, you will need to provide one additional character to be checked. See the test case descriptions for samples.

Reminder: You should not modify any of the code in main(), where the 7x5 board AND the player character to check is entered from user input. Then, a call is made to win(), and, based on the returned value (0 or 1), an appropriate message is printed to screen (e.g. either "Player A didn't win." OR "Player A won the game!").

Please find the code below::

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int win(char board[7][5], char player){
   int i,j;
   for(i=0;i<7;i++){
       int countRow = 0;
       int countCol = 0;
       for(j=0;j<5;j++){
           if(board[i][j]==player){
               countRow++;
           }else{
               countRow = 0;
           }

           if(board[j][i]==player){
               countCol++;
           }else{
               countCol = 0;
           }
           if(countRow==3||countCol==3){
               return 1;
           }
       }
   }
   return 0;
}
int main(){
   char board[7][5] = {
           {'A', 'B','B','D','E'},
           {'Z', 'A','B','G','G'},
           {'Z', 'B','A','G','G'},
           {'Z', 'Z','X','G','K'},
           {'X', 'X','O','K','O'},
           {'X', 'X','O','O','W'},
           {'A', 'B','B','D','E'}};
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'A'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'B'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'D'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'G'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'O'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'X'));
   printf("%d\n",win(board,'Z'));
   return 0;
}

output:
