The Hello User Program

This is a mini-program and is presented to help you understand a concept. This is a very simple program that asks the user to input their name and their age.

It then says hello back to the user.

You will need to create a new file and paste this in to have a play.

name = input("Hello, what is your name?\n")
age = input("What is your age?\n")
print(f"Hello {name}, your age is {age}.")

Key Takeaways

We see 3 things here that are of interest:

  1. The input() function. This asks the user for some input via the terminal.
  2. We assign (=) the input to a variable (name and age)
  3. We print back out to the user using an f-string.

The next lesson on Simple I/O (Input/Output) will explain these in more detail.
