The "input" function

Things are about to get more interesting! Below on line 1 is the "input" function. It allows users to enter information into your code. Whatever they enter can be stored in to a variable (like the variable on line 1 called name). 

Lets code!

Below is a an empty code editor, you may delete the comments if you want. Please use the code editor to play around with the input function (like above), e.g.:
  1. Write some code that asks a user to enter their age and then displays how old are they.
  2. Write some code that ask a user their name and age and then says hello to them (by name) and then tells them how old they are

​Goodluck!

Test you knowledge
