Exercise 2 - Get Colors

2.1

Create a blank list called colors.

Construct a Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop (REPL) which performs the following on each iteration of the loop:

• Prompt the user for a color
• If the user enters 'done' instead of a color, exit the loop.
• If the color is already in the colors list, inform the user that the color is already in the list and repeat the loop.
• If the color is not already in the colors list, add it and tell the user it was added.

When the loop ends, display the list of colors back to the user.

Enter a color or 'done' to quit: blue

    'blue' added to the colors list!

Enter a color or 'done' to quit: red

    'red' added to the colors list!

Enter a color or 'done' to quit: purple

    'purple' added to the colors list!

Enter a color or 'done' to quit: blue

Oops! 'blue' is already in the colors list!

output:
The colors you entered were: blue, red, purple

2.2

Define a function get_color() which prompts the user for a color and then returns that color.

Use get_color() in your REPL to get the colors from the user.
