Question: Problem: In this program you will be mimicking a game of Battleship. Your game board is a line of 10 slots. You have to implement 3 methods. The following methods must be implemented:

void setBoard(int *)

This method sets up the human's game board. The method prompts the user for 2 slots to place the "ship". The program should ensure that the slots are consecutive. In other words, your ship cannot be placed at slot 2 and at slot 6. Since the board has only 10 slots, valid slots are in the range of 0 to 9.

void setComputerBoard(int *)

Exactly the same as the setBoard method except that the position of the computer's ship is set randomly. The computer's ship must also be in consecutive slots.

intplayGame(int *, int *)

This method should do the following steps:

1. Have the computer pick at random a slot to "fire" at. If the slot the computer picked on the human's board is a ship, a "HIT" message is displayed. If the slot on the human's board is empty, a "MISS" message is displayed. Print out the computer's board and the human's board as described at the bottom of the page.

2. After the computer goes, have the human pick a slot to "fire" at. If the slot the human picked on the computer's board is a ship, a "HIT" message is displayed. If the slot on the computer's board is empty, a "MISS" message is displayed. Print out the computer's board and the human's board as described at the bottom of the page.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until there is a winner. The computer wins if both of the human's ship slots are hit. The human wins if both of the computer's ship slots are hit.

The playGame method returns a 0 if the computer won. The playGame method returns a 1 if the human won.

The computer board is printed off with the following characters: (The human board is printed off similarly)

S - printed off in the slots where the computer's ship is located.

M - printed off in the slots where the human guessed incorrectly.

H - printed off in the slots where the ship is located and where the human hit.

* - printed off in all other slots

You can assume the input will always be a positive integer.

Important: You should use pointer notation when referencing values inside an array as opposed to array notation. For example, use *ptrToArray instead of array[0] and *(ptrToArray+1) instead of array[1], etc. You will lose 10 points for not following this notation.
