Write a program that plays the game Nim the user of the program. The program and the user alternate turns, picking up one, two, or three straws on each turn. The program goes first. The player to pick up the last straw loses. Your program should start by generating and displaying a random integer (which represents the number of straws) between 10 and 20 inclusive. If this number is 1 more than multiple of 4, add 1. For example, if the random integer is 20, then start with 20 straws. But if the random integer is 17(which is one more than a multiple of 4), start with 18. On a user
