    while((choice < 1) || (choice > 4)) {
      printf("Enter number of matchstick you want to pick (between 1 to 4): ");
      scanf("%d", &choice);
      if((choice < 1) || (choice > 4)) {
        printf("Invalid input\n");
      }
    }
    sum += choice;
    printf("Matchstick left: %d\n", 21 - sum);
    printf("Matchsticks picked by computer: %d\n", 5 - choice);
    sum += 5 - choice;
    printf("Matchstick left: %d\n", 21 - sum);
    scanf("%c", &choice);
    choice = 0;
  }

  printf("Only one stick left and your turn to pick. You lost.\n");

  return 0;
}
