Question: A common memory matching game played by young children is to start with a deck of cards that contain identical pairs. For example, given six cards in the deck, two might be labeled 1, two labeled 2, and two labeled 3. The cards are shuffled and placed face down on the table. A player then selects two cards that are face down, turns them face up, and if the cards match, they are left face up. If the two cards do not match, they are returned to their original face down position. The game continues until all cards are face up. Write a program that plays the memory matching game. Use 16 cards that are laid out in a 4 4 square and are labeled with pairs of numbers from 1 to 8. Your program should allow the player to specify the cards that he or she would like to select through a coordinate system.

all of the face down cards are indicated by *. The pairs of 8 that are face up are at coordinates (1,1) and (2,3). To hide the cards that have been temporarily placed face up, output a large number of newlines to force the old board off the screen indicates if a card is face up or face down. Or, a more elegant solution is to create a single 2D array where each element is an object that stores both the card's value and face. Write a function that "shuffles" the cards in the array by repeatedly selecting two cards at random and swapping them.
