* Description:
* Write an application that contains an array of 10 multiple-choice quiz
* questions related to your favorite hobby. Each question contains three
* answer choices. Also create an array that holds the correct answer to
* each question -- A, B, or C. Display each question and verify that the
* user enters only A, B, or C as the answer -- if not, keep prompting the
* user until a valid response is entered. If the user responds to a
* question correctly, display "Correct!"; otherwise, display "The
* correct answer is" and the letter of the correct answer. After the user
* answers all the questions, display the number of correct and incorrect
* answers. Save the file as Quiz.java
