// Program title: This is the title

//
// Program Description and Design Overview:
//      Prompt user to enter a single letter from A through Z (upper case only) 
//	Input a single letter (type char) 
//	Print out the corresponding digit (an int) of the buttons on a phone pad with the message: 
//	"The digit N corresponds to the letter L on the telephone" 
//	(where L is the letter typed by the program user and N is the corresponding digit computed by the program) 
//	The digit-letter correspondence rules are: 
//	2 = ABC,  3 = DEF,  4 = GHI,  5 = JKL,  6 = MNO, 7 = PRS, 8 = TUV, 9 = WXY 
//	Use a multi-way if -else statement for this solution. Do not use a switch statement. 
//	Hint: You will need to use the logical OR operator (see page 123, 124 of your textbook) 
//	Since only certain upper case letters correspond to a phone pad digit, any other letter or character will not have a corresponding digit. Thus, if any other character is entered, the program should print, 
//
//	"There is no digit on the telephone that corresponds to L" 
//	(where L is the letter entered)

// Input Requirements:  char letter- the capitalized letter
//      				answer- answer to question "Do you want to enter another character?"
//
// Output Requirements: 
//		Prompts for the conditions under which the user must follow in order to input the letter.
//      The number corresponding to the letter typed in.
//
// Program Preconditions:The user must input capitalized letters to get the 
// 				result they are looking for.
//
