Question

I'm working on Problem Set 0 and I'm trying to get the user's first and last names to print out in that order.

I can get each name to print individually, but I'm assuming in the end, it wants to read something like this: Your first and last name (or name?) is Jimmy Stewart.

Do I assign a variable for each name such as x=raw_input('What is your first name?') and y= raw_input (What is your last name?')? So it would read out as >>>print('Your first and last name is ' + x +y) and it would print out as Your first and last name is Jimmy Stewart

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Now how would I go about writing that out. When I enter different variations of x=raw_input (What is your first name?') and y = raw_input ('What is your last name?'), I get back syntax errors and/or can't assign to operator

Answer 3

what exactly did you type?

Answer 4

>>>x = raw_input('What is your first name?') and y= raw_input('What is your last name?')
which came out with SyntaxError: can't assign to operator

So next I went ahead tried:
>>>print('Your first name is ' + x) and ('Your last name is ' +y)
which came out with Your name is Jimmy

Answer 5

```
>>x = raw_input('What is your first name?')
>>y = raw_input('What is your last name?')
>>print('Your first name is ' + x)
>>print('Your last name is ' +y)
```

Answer 6

Ah let me try that, it seems so painfully obvious now

Answer 7

Do you know what `and` is for?

Answer 8

in this case I suppose I don't

Answer 9

Ok so I followed your steps and great, it works! So that's the end of the problem?

Answer 10

I don't know what the problem is

Answer 11

Problem 1. Write a program that does the following in order:

1. Asks the user to enter his/her last name.
2. Asks the user to enter his/her first name.
3. Prints out the user’s first and last names in that order.

Answer 12

Okay, so in your text editor you have to put the lines in order.

Answer 13

```
lastname = raw_input('Enter last name:')
firstname = raw_input('Enter first name:')
print(firstname, lastname)
```

Awesome, thank you so much! You've been invaluable.
