we are using an if statement so when the user guess the right answer its going to print “congrats! you sank my Battleship”

also the Else statement, once the user guess the wrong answer it’s going to print “you missed my Battleship”

when the user guess an answer which is not in the range(5) in either guess_col or guess_row it’s going to print “oops! that’s not even in the ocean”. to set that we create another if statement “ELIF”

we want the user to print game over once the user makes three guesses we use another if statement after the else
