Introduction

The Magic 8-Ball is a fortune-telling toy. You ask the 8-ball a question, shake it up, and a response is shown in a little window. Some example responses include:

• It is certain.
• Without a doubt.
• Ask again later.
• Cannot predict now.
• Don’t count on it.
• Outlook not so good.

Skills to Practice

• Writing selection statements
• Generating random numbers

Challenge Tasks

1. Create a console project named CodeChallenge9Magic8Ball.
2. Complete the folowing tasks:
   1. Prompt the user to enter a question. You don’t need to save the question, because we don’t actually use their question in any meaningful way. We’re just giving the user hope.
   2. Generate a random number. This random number will match up to some response.
   3. Depending on the random number, output an answer from the examples above. Include them all in your program.
