Question

For exercise 1.2, why does the expected output not look like a tic-tac-toe grid?

Answer 1

It is in text, so there are limits of what can be done.

Answer 2

This is what I entered and it seemed to work.Remember that white space is important.

print " | |"
print "--------"
print " | |"
print "--------"
print " | |"

Answer 3

Another way to produce it.

top = ("__|__|__")
bot = (" | |")
print (top + "\n" + top + "\n" + bot)
