Description of the Code: + +The main game loop can be found in `main`. This will loop until a winner +has won at least 4 consecutive times. + +The `Random` class is used to generate a pseudo random number between +0 - 4. To keep the numbers between 1 - 5, I have incremented this value +by 1. + +The `play` method prints out the choice for both players, then +determines the winner and adjusts the last winner and consecutive wins +fields based on the winner. + 3. Errors and Warnings: + +When a tie occurs, I assume the previous winner remains the current +winner. + +This program does not require any user input so the possibilities +remains low. A possible condition that can occur is an infinite loop due +to the random number generator producing results that does not allow a +single player to win 4 consecutive times. One way to handle this +scenario, is to set a maximum number of rounds that can be played. I +chose not to implement this. + 4.
