User Inputs
The script will need to read user inputs, and verify them before any processing.
You should never trust the user and implement a few ways to correct him of his mistake, leading him to provide a correct guess.
A mistake does not count as a try.
The script will read strings only composed of 4 numbers, removing blanks or spaces.
The codemaker will analyse a limited amount of codebreaker's guesses (10), providing either a win or a loose.
BONUS: You can implement a cheating word, resulting in an instant win, revealing the mystery code.
