ok after the first couts i where i have press yes or no
i want to use a if else statement to let the user pick if they want to place there ships or let the computer

this is the function we used to generate ships randomly for the computer i want to use this same function to generate ships for the player if they choose so...when i tried to do the if else statement i can get the program to run but it skips all my couts about pressing yes and no and just goes straight to the game with random ships that are invisible
