This program prompts the user for numbers until -1
is typed, then displays which number was the largest number typed.

Example output:
Type a number (or -1 to quit): 10
Type a number (or -1 to quit): 30
Type a number (or -1 to quit): 15
Type a number (or -1 to quit): 20
Type a number (or -1 to quit): -1
The biggest number you typed was 30
