    bool outerLoopBreakFlag = false ;
    for( int col=0 ; col<3; ++col )
    {
         // check for the winning conditions
         // i.e., board[row][col] == board[row][col+1] == board[row][col+2]
         //       board[row][col] == board[row+1][col] == board[row+2][col]
         //       if any one is satisfied, set the outerLoopBreakFlag to true
         else
             break ;
    }
    if( outerLoopBreakFlag == true )
        break ;
}
