In this assignment you will be implementing a Dichotomous Key. Dichotomous Keys are generally used as a simple system to identify different organisms. You will create a sequential structure that can be used by a user to identify different types of deciduous trees based on their features. The prompts you will be printing are included in the Starter Code. Each is a variable named with a question number. The table below features the logic your program should go through using those question numbers. It may be helpful to you to plan out your solution using a tree diagram.
