Tic-tac-toe (25 points) In the Tic-Tac-Toe example done in class, we saw that there was a major problem with the function for entering players choice of box the player could enter anything, including numbers for boxes that had already been chosen. Of course, this is quite lame. Fix the function so that program checks to make sure that the choice entered is valid (an integer between 0 and 8) and that has not already been chosen. If a player tries to enter an invalid choice, the program a warning and give the user another chance to enter a proper value.
