Print "Censored" if userInput contains the word "darn", else print userInput. End with a newline. Ex: If userInput is "That darn cat.", then the output is: Censored Ex: If userInput is "Dang, that was scary!", then the output is: Dang, that was scary! Note: If the submitted code has an out-of-range access, the system will stop running the code after a few seconds and report "Program end never reached." The system doesn't print the test case that caused the reported message.
