How do you set coordinates on a 5x5 grid for a Java program called paddleship?

Question

Setting up a Java game called paddleship, same as battleship and having trouble setting the coordinates for row and column using if then statements. Definitely would appreciate it.

Answer 1

Instead of using a 2D array, create a JTable object and implement the cell renderer to make your job easier.

Answer 2

i'm not really sure what your trying to do, some sample code would help. But my opnion on how to do this is a 5x5 2D array. This makes the grid easy to create and change.
