The exercise here is to rewrite the exampleGuessingGame() function

* a lower bound to be entered, e.g. guess numbers between 10 and 20
* ask for a better input if the user gives a non integer value anywhere.
I.e. throw away inputs like "ten" or "8!" but instead of crashing
ask for another value.
* chastise them if they pick a number outside the bounds.
* see if you can find the other failure modes.
There are three that I can think of. (They are tested for.)
NOTE: whilst you CAN write this from scratch, and it'd be good for you to
be able to eventually, it'd be better to take the code from exercise 2 and
marge it with code from excercise 1.
Remember to think modular. Try to keep your functions small and single
purpose if you can!
