Reading What the User Types

input() pauses your program and waits for the person using it to type something and press Enter. Whatever they typed comes back as the answer — save it in a variable (a labeled box) so you can use it later:

name = input()
print(name)

If the user types Sam, this prints: Sam

Your turn: read a line of input and print it back out, exactly as it was typed.
