#
# Rock, Paper, Scissors game
# The program will stop only once the difference in score between computer and human players is 3
# The program prompts the user if the input is not one of 'P', 'R', or 'S'.
# The program will accept valid letters in lower or upper case, and with extra spaces before or after the letter.
# The program will indicate the winner of each round.
# The program will stop and output a final message at the end, when the difference in score is 3, 
# pointing out who the winner is.
