4.10.1: Simon says. "Simon Says" is a memory game where "Simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (R, G, B, Y) and the user must repeat the sequence. Create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. For each match, add one point to userScore. Upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. Assume simonPattern and userPattern are always the same length. Ex: The following patterns yield a userScore of 4: simonPattern: RRGBRYYBGY userPattern: RRGBBRYBGY

For loop requires a range of numbers to define the end points. For this Simon Says game, we are talking about 10 characters, so that must be the range for the for loop: from 0 to 10.
Conditional if tests if Simon pattern matches User's one characheter by one and add point for each match.
Break statement is ready to escape the for loop at first mismatch.
As we are starting from index 0, if the users matched all the characters correctly, then we need to add 1, otherwise the maximun score would be 9 and it should be 10.

The program illustrates the use of loops.

Loops are used to perform operations that need to be repeated in a certain number of times

In this case, the characters of simon_pattern will be compared to the characters of user_pattern.

The for loop in Python where comments are used to explain each line is as follows

#This statement iterates through the characters of user_pattern and simon_pattern

for i in range(10):

#This compares the corresponding characters

if(user_pattern[i] == simon_pattern[i]):

#If the characters match, user_score is incremented by 1

user_score+=1

#If otherwise,

else:

#The loop is forcefully closed

break;
