---+Hint to determining the operation (Selection lab: Spring 2024)
You have two options:
   1. Get the operation as a string and then just work with the first character
      * For this operation, get the string
      * Then use the *charAt* string function to get the first character (number 0) and assign it to a character variable
      * You can use a switch statement on a character variable
   1. Get the operation as a string and use that
      * This operation requires the user to be very precise on the input.  If the user adds another blank at the end, this might cause a problem.
      * If you use this option, be sure to use *.equals* in your selection statement
      * You cannot use a string in a switch statement.
For either option, it is best to read the string as an entire line.
