Thanks for the single quote tip. That solved one of the problems. This is actually a larger program that is supposed to play tic-tac-toe. I have commented out most of the program in order to solve problems one piece at a time. Anyways, here is the code.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void draw(char, int, int);/*
void assign(const string, int, string, int, string, int);
void test(const string, int, int, bool);
*/
int main()
{
//string ans = " ";
//while (ans != "y")
//{
//Declare and initialize the array
char empty = ' ';
const int columns = 3;
const int rows = 3;
char tictac[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
{
tictac[i][j] = empty;
}
}
int count = 1;
bool done = false;
cout << "Let's play tic-tac-toe!" << endl;
draw(tictac, rows, columns);
/*
while (count < 10)
{
test(tictac, rows, done);
if (!done)
{
if (count % 2 != 0)
{
int col = 0;
int row = 0;
string colpick;
int rowpick;
cout << "Player X. " << endl;
cout << "Please enter the column for your move(a, b, or c): ";
cin >> colpick;
cout << "Please enter the row for your move(1, 2, or 3): ";
cin >> rowpick;
assign(tictac, rows, colpick, rowpick, "X", count);
}
else
{
int col = 0;
int row = 0;
string colpick;
int rowpick;
cout << "Player O. " << endl;
cout << "Please enter the column for your move(a, b, or c): ";
cin >> colpick;
cout << "Please enter the row for your move(1, 2, or 3): ";
cin >> rowpick;
assign(tictac, rows, colpick, rowpick, "O", count);
}
draw(tictac, rows);
}
}
cout << "Would you like to play again? ";
cin >> ans;
}

return 0;
