Requirements

• The program should run without any errors.
• The program should ask for a starting number of dollars. It should then present a simple menu where the user can type a to buy a muffin for 10 dollars or b to buy a coffee for 5 dollars. The program should end when the user runs out of money.
• It’s possible that the user might spend more money than they actually have. That’s okay, As long as the program stops when they have 0 dollars or less!
• Hint: Don’t forget to convert the starting_dollars 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?

Example

Below is an example of how the program should run:

Enter starting $: 20
Current money:
20
Enter [a] to buy a muffin for $10
Enter [b] to buy a coffee for $5
Enter your choice: a
Gobble gobble gobble!

Current money:
10
Enter [a] to buy a muffin for $10
Enter [b] to buy a coffee for $5
Enter your choice: b
Gulp gulp gulp!

Current money:
5
Enter [a] to buy a muffin for $10
Enter [b] to buy a coffee for $5
Enter your choice: b
Gulp gulp gulp!

You've run out of money, sorry!
Game over.
