Requirements

• The program should run without any errors.
• The program should ask for a starting number of likes. It should then present a simple menu where the user can type a to increase the number of likes by one or b to decrease the likes by one. The program never ends.
• Hint: Don’t forget to convert the likes variable to an integer using the int() command, or you might get an error! What happens when you don’t convert the variable to an integer? Why do you think this happens?
