I am new to c++ and have some other minor programming experience currently taking a college class intro to c++, we started into ADT's last week and were posed with the problem of converting a TicTacToe game that we worked on previously into a program that utilizes classes to operate. I have organized my code like we were shown in class. I found an example online that was close to what I had available to work with and attempted structuring it like the example. the code currently will compile without error but doesn't draw the board or call the user. Any help would be appreciated again I'm completely new to c++ so I assume there are things not done efferently or that are bad practice I apologize ahead of time. Thanks
main.cpp
#include "tictactoe.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int input;
do
{
tictactoe boardDisplay();
tictactoe user();
} while (input != 0);
return 0;
}
tictactoe.h
#ifndef TICTACTOE_H
#define TICTACTOE_H
class tictactoe
{
public:
tictactoe();
void boardDisplay();
void user();
void alreadyTaken();
void winState();
void declareWinner(char);
protected:

#endif
and then a separate cpp file for the class
