"""
Multiple Input from User Program.

Input:
- 'stop' to end the program.
- 'display' to show the entered inputs.
- 'clear' to reset and clear the entered inputs.
- Any other input is considered as regular text input.

Output:
- Displays each regular text input.
- Shows the count of inputs entered.

Features:
- Continuously receives inputs from the user until the input is 'stop'.
- Tracks the count of inputs entered.
- Allows the user to display the entered inputs.
- Provides an option to clear the entered inputs.
- Handles invalid input and exceptions gracefully.
- Provides a simple and intuitive command-line interface for users to interact with the program.
