I also imported the standard libraries IO module because I'll be using that for the player to enter their guesses through standard input. At the beginning of the main function, at line five, I use the rand library to generate a random number between 1 and 100. Then, after lines seven and eight print messages prompting the player to guess the number, the program enters a loop.
