Penalty Shootout

For this challenge you are going to write a computer program where the user tries to score a goal against the computer.

The user will be asked where do they want to shoot and will have to choose one of the following five options:

• TL: Top Left,
• BL: Bottom Left,
• M: Middle,
• TR: Top Right,
• BR: Bottom Right.

The computer will act as the goal keeper and randomly choose one of these options too.

The program will decide if there is a goal or not by comparing the user’s choice with the computer option.
