Hello, I'm still having a little trouble with this assignment. The last answer wasn't bad, but still wasn't exact. The first two functions are made to intialize the board and print to user the placeships function I am trying to have the computer randomly place the ships on the board and the shotsfired function is where I'm trying to put the game play (if that makes sense?)

Anyway, all help is always appreciated but if you could also explain your thought process so I can follow along I would really appreciate this as well.

For the most part this is what I am trying to do:

---populate a (10x10) board to sim a game of battleship

---There are 5 ships randomly placed on the board (this is determined randomly by computer and the user nor programmer will know the placements).

---Each ship will take a certain amount of hits to sink (refer to their lengths) and to enter a hit user needs to enter a row then col ( Ex: J9)

---after each attempt a message populates whether the gamer "hit" or "missed" the target and updates the board with an H or M accordingly.

----enforce preventative coding so if the gamer selects outside of the boards region, they are notified that their selection is invalid

---the user is given the option to start a new game or quit at the end

----use structs and dynamic memory allocation as necessary

Example of board:

(Since ship V has already been sunk, it has appeared on the board completely. Other floating ships remain hidden until sunk)
