Homework 4.1 Rock paper scissors
Write a program that lets the user play rock-paper-scissors against the computer. It should let the user choose between 2 options: play or quit. In the case of playing, the user must be able to choose between rock, paper, or scissors. However, the computer is broken and always chooses paper.
Your program should display the option that was picked by the computer as well as the result of the game (player's win, loss or draw).
Optional bonus task: Fix the computer so it picks randomly between all 3 options (rock, paper, scissors). Hint: For the computer’s choice, use random.choice().
Example of modified program where the computer chooses randomly:
>>> %Run solution.py
Type S to stop or P to play rock paper scissors: P
Choose rock, paper or scissors: paper
Computer chose paper
Draw
Type S to stop or P to play rock paper scissors: P
Choose rock, paper or scissors: paper
Computer chose scissors
You lost
Type S to stop or P to play rock paper scissors: S
Game ended

Homework 4.2 Sum of squares
Write a function squareSum that takes one integer as an argument and returns the sum of all integer squares from 1 to the argument value (included).
For example, if the argument is 3, then the function should calculate as follows: {$ 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 = 1 + 4 + 9 = 14 $}
Examples of function calls:
>>> squareSum(3)
14
>>> squareSum(10)
385
Modify the program to get the integer from user input, call the function with it and display the final result.
Examples of program output:
>>> %Run solution.py
Please enter an integer: 3
The sum of integer squares from 1 to 3 is 14
>>> %Run solution.py
Please enter an integer: 10
The sum of integer squares from 1 to 10 is 385
