Can't get this Tic Tac Toe Game to play fair

Question

This is a tic tac toe game to cooperate with me. I have originally created this game in the beginning of the semester, however out instructor wants us to now add an AI ( artificial intelligence ), which can imitate another player. The best approach I took is to make a method that has a random number generator. This worked for me, however when I was running the tic tac toe game the 2nd player AI would overwrite the 1st player move. So in order to prevent this from happening I put in a conditional statement which can check if the Jbuttun is disabled. However it is not allowing me to compile. Then error it is giving is incompatible type: ( required Boolean: found Void).

Answer 1

if( button[i].setEnabled(false))
{
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Button is disables ");
    break;
}

You are indeed trying to check a void type in a conditional statement, this can't be done. Since setEnabled returns void (nothing). What you should be doing is checking the getter method of 'Enabled', so:

if (!button[i].isEnabled()) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Button is disables ");
    break;
}

Note the '!' before the statement, this makes it negative

Answer 2

if( button[i].setEnabled(false))
{
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Button is disables ");
   break;
}

setEnabled() returns void that's why it gives you error, maybe you mean .isEnabled()?

if(!button[i].isEnabled())
{
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null," Button is disables ");
   break;
}

isEnabled() returns true if the button is enabled, false if disabled.
