- In this game, there are 21 Water bottles at the start.
- There are 2 players: a. You – Choice decided by input. b. Computer – Choice decided by algorithm.
- Each turn involves a player picking up between 1 and 4 Water bottles inclusively.
- Whoever picks up the last bottle (21st bottle), is the loser and will have to pay the bill.
Design and implement a game, making use of an Artificially Intelligent algorithm, so that if user is playing first, the Computer would pick up the bottles intelligently each time.
“The Computer should always win.”
The following message will appear at the start of the game.
There are 21 Water bottles...
There are 2 players - Computer and you.
At a time, each one can pick up any no. of bottles between 1 and 4 (inclusive)
Will you like to play first?
If the User types ‘Yes’ and presses ‘Enter’ key, the next lines of output would be
How many you would like to pick up?
If you pick up 3 bottles initially and press ‘Enter’, the intelligent algorithm will decide how many bottles will be selected by the Computer.
For example, the next set of output could be.
How many you would like to pick up?
3
Computer has picked 2
The bottles remaining are: 16
How many you would like to pick up?
The User must be able to continue the game with Computer, and at every step the remaining bottles need to be displayed appropriately. The no. of remaining bottles will decrease after each round.
How many you would like to pick up?
2
Computer has picked 3
The bottles remaining are: 11
How many you would like to pick up?
3
Computer has picked 2
The bottles remaining are: 6
How many you would like to pick up?
4
Computer has picked 1
As per this artificially intelligent program, the Computer should always win. Once the User is compelled to pick up the last Water bottle, then they are the Loser and would have to pay the bill.
Computer has picked 1
The bottles remaining are : 1
You will have to pick up the last..you are loser

Click and Authorize from your GITHUB account.
Clone the Repository / open through VSCODE IDE.
Open Water-bottles-game --> src --> main --> Java Files to complete code.
Solve the Problem Statements through code as detailed in Step 3 below.
Commit the changes to the repositories,
labelling each commit numerically (Commit1, Commit2, etc.).
Each commit will be tested automatically against the relevant testcases,
so you may need to submit several commits as you refine your solution.
Once you are finished with the assignment (either all test cases passed or not),
make sure to lable this commit as "final commit"
(this may mean a previous commit passing and
you making a slight edit to the latter in order to mark
the next commit as being final).
Read the Problem Statement carefully
