+Create a Go program that reads some numbers from the command line and then 
+calculates the sum and the product of all the numbers given at the command line.
+
+The user should give between 2 and 10 numbers.
+
+Notes:
+
+- the program should be run in a terminal (go run main.go) not in Go Playground
+
+- example:
+
+go run main.go 3 2 5
+
+Expected output: Sum: 10, Product: 30
