Basic Programming Concepts

for Roger

We need to understand basic programming concepts like input and output.

Problem 1: Write a program that asks for your name, and then prints “Hello, Mr. <name>!”.

bpc-1a


print("Hello, my name is Mr. Appledog!")

Now I explain what this does and add;

bpc-1b


name = "Appledog"

print("Hello, my name is Mr. " + name + "!")

So the key is we need to add the name:

bpc-1c


name = input("What is your name? ")

print("Hello, my name is Mr. " + name + "!")

This is the program he wrote:
