"""
Task:

- Ask the user to enter a paragraph of text.
Do the following:
- Count how many sentences are in the paragraph. (You can assume that a sentence ends with a period.)
- Count how many times the word "the" appears (case-insensitive).
- Print the results of your analysis.

Explanation: This combines several string concepts and requires a bit more independent thinking.
