        // or 'T' if there is a tie. For now it just returns a space no matter what.
 
        return ' ';
 
 
    }
 
}

this is the second file

import java.util.Random;
public class TicTacToeplayer {
 
    public void getMove(char[][] theBoard, char myPiece) {
 
        // this method should update the game board to place 'myPiece' (X or O)
        // in a space on the board.
 
        // As-is, this method just places an X or O randomly, without even considering
        // if the square is already taken.
 
        Random myRand = new Random();
 
        int myRow = myRand.nextInt(3);
        int myCol = myRand.nextInt(3);
 
        theBoard[myRow][myCol] = myPiece;      
 
    }
 
}

i have created a project but they wont run together.

In the main you create 2 instances of the class: TicTacToeGame. Shouldn't you be creating TicTacToeplayer instances?
