C++ 1-D Battleship against the computer. You need to ask the user to enter length of battlefield, size of ships (it should be same size for all ships for simplicity), number of ships and display the battlefield with _ sign (number of _ should be equal to length of the battlefield)

After you need to ask the user to place his/her ships using # sign, for example length=10, user decide to choose index for the ship 2 with size 3 => output: __###_____ (2-_ ; 3-# ; 5-_)

User cannot overlap the ships; it cannot be outside of the battlefield and it should be located at least 1 sign from each other.

Placing of the new ship of the user should be displaced separately, example (given battlefield length=10, size of the ship=3, number of the ships=2):

Board status

__________

Add ship to index position: 2 (with the size of the ship given before =3)

Board status

_###______

Add ship to index position: 6

Board status

_###_###__

Also, you need to do the same stapes for the computer to place the ships randomly.

After the user and computer battlefields with a ships are ready you need to start the game.

First you need to ask a user to choose the position of the shot, and if the shot hit, mark this place with x if not mark it with o and alternate shot between user and computer (computer choosing the index of shot randomly, but without repetitive shots)

Example:

Select position of the shot: 3

You missed

This is how computers field looks like now

__o_______

Computers turn

You got hit at position 3

Select position of the shot: 4

You got a hit

This how computers field looks like now

__ox______

Computers turn

Computer missed

When all ships of the user or computer will be destroyed, you need to report about victory or losing.
