Help with hw...

[icreamed]

AHHH so i've been writing this code with my teachers help. IT will now be able to get 1 coordinate, but i want it to get teh same number of coordinates, i set my shipsize to.. waht can i do...my teacher said I could do a loop... but.... i couldnt get it to work....( this is jsut part of the code) you dotn the otehrs...

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class GameBoard
{
    private boolean[][] i = new boolean[10][10];
    
    boolean spotIsTaken = true;
    
    public ArrayList<String> placeShip(int shipSize)
    {    
        System.out.println(shipSize);
       
        String[] letters = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"};
        
          int row =(int)(Math.random()*10);
          int column =(int)(Math.random()*10);
  
      
          while(spotIsTaken)
          {
              if(i[row][column])
              {
                row =(int)(Math.random()*10);
                column =(int)(Math.random()*10);
              }
           	 else
           	  {
                spotIsTaken = false;
              }
    
          }
          
          
       for (int i = )
      	
    
     	
	        
        ArrayList<String> points = new ArrayList<String>();
        
        points.add(letters[row] + (column + 1));
       
    
		System.out.println(letters[row]+ (column + 1));
        
        return points;     
      }
      
}
  

  // Returns an ArrayList of coordinates
  // where a ship of shipSize can be placed
  // Example: placeShip(3)
  // could return { b3, b4, b5 }
