This also provides the outline in which the program should be presented and gives hints as to what statements to use, how it will be graded (rubric), etc.

Here are the instructions that MUST not be changed and are already incorporated into the program:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import java.util.Scanner;
/*
* add comments as needed but all executable code must appear
* between the two large comment blocks below.
*/
public class MascotQuiz {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       int score = 0;
      
       String greeting =
               "In this game, I ask you four questions about mascots for "
               +"US collegiate sports teams." +
               " You get 1 point for each correct answer, "
               +"0 points if you type don't know, "
               +"and you lose a point for wrong answers.";
       final String schoolOptions = "University of Michigan, "
               +"University of Nebraska, "
               +"University of Oklahoma, "
               +"University of Wisconsin";
       final String mascotOptions =
               "Badgers, Cornhuskers, Sooners, Wolverines";
       String prompt1 =
               " Type 1 and I'll give you the mascot and "
               +"you give give the school. "
               +"Type 2 and I'll give you the school and "
               +"you give me the mascot. "
               +"Type 3 and I'll quit.";      
      
       System.out.println( greeting );
