If it is correct, display the string Very Good! and generate a new question. If the answer is wrong, display the string No. Please try again. and let the student try the same question again repeatedly until the student finally gets it right. A separate function should be used to generate each new question. This function should be called once when the script begins execution and each time the user answers the question correctly.

For example, if your program reads the number 7, it should output XHTML text that displays *******.
