# 11.40 (Guess the capitals) Write a program that repeatedly prompts the user to enter a
# capital for a state. Upon receiving the user input, the program reports whether
# the answer is correct. Assume that 50 states and their capitals are stored in a twodimensional
# list, as shown in Figure 11.13. The program prompts the user to
# answer all the states’ capitals and displays the total correct count. The user’s
# answer is not case sensitive. Implement the program using a list to represent the
# data in the following table.
