[BUG] Input validation #1428

Open shrivalidutt opened 1 month ago

shrivalidutt commented 1 month ago

Description

The input validation logic in placex() and placey() is somewhat convoluted and can lead to an infinite loop if the user does not enter a valid position.

Expected behavior

If the user enters an invalid position, they should be prompted to enter a valid number without causing the program to get stuck in an infinite loop.

Actual behavior

leads to an infinite loop if the user does not enter a valid position.

Possible fix

adding input validation

Steps to reproduce

Execute the compiled program When prompted, enter an invalid move, such as a number outside the range of 1-9 or a letter. the program keeps prompting for input without handling invalid cases, it may cause an infinite loop if the input is never valid

Context

While trying to check what the output will be in case an invalid input is provided i came across this issue
