"(10 points) Write a program that takes as input two opposite corners of a
rectangle: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) – float or integer only. Finally, the user is prompted
for the coordinates of a third point (x,y). The program should print Boolean value
True or False based on whether the point (x,y) lies within the rectangle. At the
end of each run, the user should be prompted to ask whether then want to
continue.
Note that the rectangle could fall anywhere in the 2X2 plane of real numbers."
