Review

In your Pre$-$Studio work, you learned that variables, print$(),$ and input$()$ are among the fundamental beginner$-$level concepts in programming. Let's review what you learned here.

Variables are stored in the computer's memory $($similar to how we store information in our brain$).$ To access a variable's content later, we reference the variable's name that we assigned to save the variable's value. By referencing the variable's name, we can use the variable's value in our program. Note: variable names can only be letters, underscores, and numbers $($and they cannot start with numbers$).$

In many of the computer programs that you will develop in this course, you'll need to accept user input from the keyboard. The function input$()$ will print the string$/$text inside of the parenthesis $($like the print$()$ function$),$ AND will also allow the user to enter any string$/$text$.$

For example:

# display the question to the screen, accept the user input, print$($input$("$Name$?"))$
