Comments are there to help future-you read the code (and me
as well)
For now, just write a few comments to your program
Getting Input from the User
You can get input from the user by using the command
x=input(Please enter a phrase)
This will do three things:
Ask the user whatever you put in quotes.
Wait for the user to enter something (and press enter)
Store what the user input as a string in the variable x
You can change up whats in the or the name of the variable
if you like
Getting Input from the User
Ask the user to input a phrase, then print out whatever the
user entered
Hint: You can just copy this from the last slide!
Repeat the above step, except use a different variable and
change how you ask the user
