/* RandomExercise.java by Craig Persiko
   Solution to in-class exercise in CS 111A:
   Write a program to generate random integers 
   between 5 and 10 (inclusive), showing them 
   on the screen, and stopping when the same number
   is generated twice in a row. At the end, output
   the largest number that was generated.
