// CSC152 
// Implementation of a cellular automaton with a simple neighborhood rule:
// if either left or right neighbor is turned on, turn on the cell in the 
// next generation. This can be represented graphically as follows (1 stands
// for a cell that's on, 0 for off):
// current generation: 101  100  001  111  110  011 
// next generation:     1    1    1    1    1    1
// Notice that the above can be represented with a single conditional 
// statement
