Basic Battleship

So this was my first coding project and I basically had no idea what I was doing. So I found an old video on how to make a game. So I did. I changed a few things. Made it to where the ships location wouldn’t print, but left the functionality in the code if it is needed for later. One thing I was not sure how to do was keep the program from instantly closing on the last turn. Also some pointers on how to make the ship two spaces big instead of just one would be appreciated.

# BattleShip
from random import randint, random


board = []

for i in range(0,5):
    board.append(["0"]*5)

def print_board(board):
    for row in board:
        print (" ".join(row))

print("Let's play Battleship")
print_board(board)

def random_row(board):
    return randint(0, len(board)-1)

def random_col(board):

Nice program! I played part of a game and never found your ship. I did guess 5, 2 and it said that’s not even in the ocean. Not sure why that is. Keep up the good work.
