• 1 if player 1 has placed four consecutive X’s in a single column somewhere in the board

• 2 if player 2 has placed four consecutive O’s in a single column somewhere in the board

def vertical_winner(board):
for j in range(0, board._num_cols):
count1 = 0

for i in range(0, board._num_rows):
if board._slots[i][j] == 'X':
count1 += 1
count2 = 0
elif board._slots[i][j] == 'O':
count2 += 1
count1 = 0
