Description
html markup
shown to student

Write a program that helps Goldilocks find the bowl of porridge that is just right.
The user will enter a value representing how hot a bowl of porridge is on a scale of 1-10. Use the following table to rate the bowl:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Input value</th><th>Output Message</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>1-4</tt></td><td><tt>Too cold!</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>5</tt></td><td><tt>Just right!</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>6-10</tt></td><td><tt>Too hot!</tt></td>
</tr>
</table>

Your program should continue taking in new values UNTIL you find a bowl that is just right, at which point the program should quit.
You need not output a prompt (English-language message) to the user but can just use <tt>cin</tt> alone.
