Are functions that manipulate data to clean it up and make it useful.

Simon says is a memory game where "simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (r, g, b, y) and the user must repeat the sequence. create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. for each match, add one point to userscore. upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. assume simonpattern and userpattern are always the same length. ex: the following patterns yield a userscore of 4: simonpattern: rrgbryybgy userpattern: rrgbbrybgy
