I need help intializing the multi-dimensional array below (I've commented the code that I have so far, but not sure what to do). I also need help printing the board and help with another method below that. Encoding is UTF-8. Thanks.

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.util.Random;

public class Battleship {

/**

* Initializes a game board so that all the entries are Config.WATER_CHAR

(WATER_CHAR is '~')

*

* @param board The game board to initialize.

*/

public static void initBoard(char board[][]) {

// for ( int i = 0; i < board.length; i++)

// for ( int j = 0; j < board[ i ].length; j++)

// board[ i ][ j ] = Config.WATER_CHAR;

}

/**

* the user is placing their ships and during the game play.

* Some notes on the display: - Each column printed will have a width of Config.MAX_COL_WIDTH. -

* Each row is followed by an empty line. - The values in the headers and cells are to be right

* justified.

*

* @param board The board to print.

* @param caption The board caption.
