-------- What we will be programming------

Main goal: 
the user will guess a random number provided by the computer
the game will go on until the player is able to guess the number

------------------------
- the code will contain a scanner to get the user input
- a variable to store the guess
- a variable to create a random int 
- while loop that will end when the user guesses the number
- multiple if statement to declare winner
