# Write a program that prompts the user to enter the maximum number used in generating a random number. Then generate the random number. 
# Start the timer as the user tries to guess the number. Display whether the guess is "Too High" or "Too Low". 
# Once the number is guessed, display how many seconds it took to guess the number.
