//            "Guess the number"
// Shows:
//   - do-while
//   - if-else
//
// Briefing:
//  The computer generates a random number
//  between 1 and MAX_RANGE. The user must
//  guess the number. Each time the user
//  makes an attempt the computer tells if
//  the number is greater or less than.
