Are you asking how to map numbers 1-9 to row and column? Something like the following
subtract 1 and
% by number of columns to get column
/ by number of rows to get row

Yes, exactly! An output that would like this:
Game board:
[1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
[7][8][9]

and when player or computer plays, it appears like this:
Game board:
[X][2][3]
[X][O][6]
[O][8][X]

Does this involve a lot of modifications to the current code?

I have not looked at the code. Take a look and see what changes it would require.

Yeah, that's what I've trying to figure out; what changes would it require?

Post what the program is currently printing out and add comments to it showing what you want it changed to.

Look in the code to see where it is creating the output you want to change. Then work on how to change it so it outputs what you want.

The output currently is:

Welcome to TicTacToe
0 1 2
0	|   |  
---+---+---
1	|   |  
---+---+---
2	|   |  

Choose a symbol: X or O

I want it to be changed to:

Welcome to TicTacToe

Game board:
[1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
[7][8][9]

Are you the programmer that wrote the code you want to change?
Have you found where the current code prints out what you want to change?


The code you have posted does not compile without errors.
Can you post the current version you have that does not have compiler errors?

Look at the buildGridString() method in the first version of the code you posted and have deleted.
It is very easy to modify to get what you want:

[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9]
