For the game of Tic Tac Toe we will be storing the state of the game in a matrix M.
For this game:
We would store the state as this:
-1  1  1 
 1 -1 -1
 1 -1 -1
If there were any blanks squares, they would be 0;
For this challenge, given a game state, does X (1) have a three in a row on any row, column or major diagonal?

Solution 7 should be correct. The diagonal of -1s is a valid win.

Hope all is well with you, Doug!

@Sean, I think Doug's got it right. He's asking only if the X side (that is +1) is in a winning position. In test 7, the O side (-1) is in a winning position. So the answer given is correct.
