3. The board stores the first character from the ship name to represent which ship is stored in a square. Create a new function called outputHit. It must return a String and take two parameters, a character called square and an array of Ship called ships. It must loop through each item in the array until it finds the name of the ship that matches the square character and then return the name of that ship. You will need to modify the output code in makePlayerMove() so that it passes in the pointer to the ships array and the board[row][column] value and outputs the string that is returned by the function.
