• In response, the program prints a string with the following digit clues:
  • P = (pica) the digit is part of the answer but not in the right position
  • C = (centro) the digit is part of the answer and is in the correct position
  • X = the digit is not part of the answer
• Continue guessing until you figure out the secret number or run out of guesses (max 20)
• You can give up by pressing CTRL-C

To Run:

• where secret_number_length is optional; default is 4
• hit CTRL-c to give up
