Thread: I'm a beginning Java student and really struggling with this assignment. PLEASE HELP!

Here's what I have so far:

import java.util.*;

* | 1 | 2 | 3 | 
* -------------

* ------------- 
* 
* An example board in mid play looks like this: 
* ------------- 
* | X | | | 
* ------------- 
* | | O | |
