Birthday Reward

You work as a developer for a small coffee shop chain. Customers who sign up for the rewards program receive a special treat on their birthday. To keep customers engaged, the company wants to add a new feature: Whenever a customer's birthday is within the current month, a random reward code will be sent to their email automatically. You will simulate this process using Java.

Program Requirements

1. Prompts the user to enter their birthday in the format yyyy-mm-dd as a String.
2. Uses LocalDate objects to see if the user's birth month is the same as the month for today.
3. If it is, uses Random class to generate a random 5-character reward code consisting of uppercase letters and displays it with a message.
4. Otherwise, displays a polite message that their birthday is not in the current month.

Sample Output
