Rewrite the pond life program from Figure 13.10 so that the values declared at the start of the program are no longer constant. The program’s user should be able to enter values for all of these constants. Also, improve the program so that the fish are more realistic. In particular, the fish should be born at a small size and grow to some maximum size. Each fish should also have a weekly food requirement that is proportional to its current size.
