Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

def has_ship(fleet_grid: list[list[str]], row_start: int, col_start: int,
             ship_symbol: str, ship_size: int) -> bool:
    """Return True if and only if a ship that (1) uses ship_symbol as its ship
    symbol and (2) has length ship_size appears in fleet_grid starting at
    position (row_start, col_start), where (row_start, col_start) is the
    top-most/left-most corner of the ship.

    If the ship has ship_size 2 or more and appears as both a column and a row,
    return False.

    Preconditions:
        - 0 < len(fleet_grid)
        - len(fleet_grid[i]) == len(fleet_grid)
              for each value of i in range(len(fleet_grid))

        - MIN_SHIP_SIZE <= ship_size <= MAX_SHIP_SIZE
        - fleet_grid[i][j] != ship_symbol for each of the coordinates
             (i, j) == (row_start - 1, col_start) or
             (i, j) == (row_start, col_start - 1)
             when those coordinates are valid indexes for fleet_grid

I have some other functions

but I don't think they'll be useful

are there any ideas
