trates a good use of random numbers, but also introduces some addi-
tional programming theory.
In running this program, a random number, NM, will be generated.

You can specify how large the number will be at the start of the pro-
gram. Then, it's up to you to guess what the number is.
A sample run follows along with an explanation.
