Question

Hello everyone! I've just joined the course and don't feel confident about the assignment 0. Could you please check the script I came up with?

>>> question = 'Enter your date of birth'
>>> print(question)
Enter your date of birth
>>> date = raw_input()
Enter your date of birth
>>> question2 = 'enter your last name'
>>> print(question2)
enter your last name
>>> name = raw_input()
print(name,date)

Answer 1

This is a copy and paste of the Python shell. Use a plain-text editor ( IDLE, Notepad, TextWrangler, TextEdit can do it be careful, vi) to put all the steps into a file.

raw_input() can take a string to print as an argument, and it will return what the user enters as a string:

foo = ( "Enter a value for foo: " )
print foo

Answer 2

if you put the question inside the raw_input() brackets, the interpreter will prompt you that question! try it like this:

date = raw_input('Enter your date of birth')
