This is my question and i have the script below. Can someone fix this or create a new script? I am so confused and overwhelmed now.

- 7.9*** (Game: playing a TicTacToe game) In a game of TicTacToe, two players take turns marking an available cell in a 3 X 3 grid with their respective tokens (either X or O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells on the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Create a program for playing TicTacToe.

The program prompts two players to enter X token and O token alternately. Whenever a token is entered, the program redisplays the board on the console and determines the status of the game (win, draw, or continue). Here is a sample run:
