🎯 How to Play

• The board consists of 9 positions (1–9)

• Players take turns entering a position number

• Player 1 uses X

• Player 2 uses O

• The first player to get three marks in a row, column, or diagonal wins

• If all positions are filled and no one wins, the game ends in a tie.

---

🧠 Game Logic Overview

• displayBoard() → Displays the current state of the board

• getPlayerMove() → Takes and validates user input

• checkWin() → Checks all possible winning combinations

• checkTie() → Determines if the game is tied

The game runs until a win or tie condition is met.
