professor asked that each element of the array should be initialized with an * can someone please help me do that please?

#include

// Prints the grid

// Takes the 2D array with r row size and c column size

void printTheGrid(char grid[][3], int r, int c){

for(int i=0; i

for(int j=0; j< c; j++){

cout<

}

cout<

}

}

// Check if it's a winner row column and returns true
