Write a console program that prompts the user for a desired sum, then repeatedly rolls two six-sided dice (using random.randint to generate random numbers from 1-6) until the sum of the two dice values is the desired sum. Here is the expected dialogue with the user: 

Desired sum: 9
4 and 3 = 7
3 and 5 = 8
5 and 6 = 11
5 and 6 = 11
1 and 5 = 6
6 and 3 = 9

(Because this problem uses random numbers, our test cases check only the general format of your output. You must still examine the output yourself to make sure the answer is correct.)
