Code Requirements
Your program must perform the following:
• Write a program that uses a while loop to respond to user input.
• Display a menu:
• What would you like to know?
• a) Favorite Animal
• c) Favorite Color
• m) Favorite Meal
q) Quit
• Get input from the user using ">" as a prompt. Allow the user to enter in lowercase or uppercase letters for the menu options.
• For each option of the menu, respond to the user by printing a message. You need to use branching. You can put information about yourself or make it up. Feel free to add more menu options.
• Handle an invalid input with a message such as "That option is not available".
