Question

Ok, I feel dumb but I'm hung up on ps0 - I can do the raw_input and get it to show Enter your last name: etc, but I'm missing how to get it to actually print just the name (unless all you do is type print Smith for example). I'm sorry, what am I missing???

Answer 1

x=raw_input('something')
print x

This will print whatever you previously input. Get it?

Answer 2

Ok, so you assign variables to various parts of the string and put the variables together? Sorry, I haven't written code since DOS...

Answer 3

>>> x=raw_input('Enter your last name:')
Enter your last name:Vander Ark
>>> print x
Vander Ark
>>> y=raw_input('Enter your first name:')
Enter your first name:Shanda
>>> print y
Shanda

Like that?

Answer 4

And chat is not letting me enter anything all of a sudden, geez, technology!

Answer 5

Sure, but you might want to do something like this instead:

x=raw_input('firstname')
y=raw_input('lastname')

print x,y

Answer 6

Ok, now it makes sense, thank you! Sorry, it's been way too long! :) I was getting there at least!

Answer 7

No problem. Don't forget to create a python file, instead of just writing code in the shell.

Answer 8

Ok, so here goes, hoping it's not too far off...

Answer 9

Ok, let's try this again, think this one is better...
