character "b" must always be immediately followed by the character "a". The same string
cannot contain both the character "d" and the character "a". Your program should end with
the number of character strings displayed on the screen. Your program receives nothing
as input. Your program code must not include pre-calculated strings: it must generate
them at runtime. Your program should not contain more than 200 short lines of code.
