Hey guys, so grateful if you can help. I'm absolutely new to both program language and Python, but determined to get some proficiency here. Using Python 3.7 I entered this code:
name="David"
surname="Hayward"
print (name, surname)
a="Python"
b="is"
c="cool!"
print(a, b, c)
name=input("What is your name? ")
input("Hello,", name)The Consule shows the following output:
Output:
David Hayward
Python is cool!
What is your name?
According to the tutorial, it should give the following output though:
Output:
David Hayward
Python is cool!
What is your name? David
Hello, David
Any idea why it is not reading David and Hello, David ?
Surely input("Hello,", name) is incorrect - don't you mean print?
on line 10 you take input from user. That means when it print What is your name? you need to enter your name and press Enter

It's written as input in the textbook I'm using, but print doesn't work either

Maybe it's in order to prevent cmd window from closing if they click on py file in order to execute it (on Windows)
When you have input you expect input from user, i.e. script is running and waiting for input from you.

Where do I enter the name? But the name is already coded as "David", so shouldn't David appear there as well?
you need to write it in the cmd window or terminal, or wherever you execute the script, i.e. where it prints
What is your name?
These are 2 different examples.
In first example you have 2 names (variables) -
name and
surname and then you print them.
In the second part of the example you take input from user and assign it value to name
name. Then it use this new value (or same value if you enter David) when it print the greeting. Note that it again uses
input as noted by @
ndc85430, i.e. you need to press a key in order to finish the execution of the script

Ah.. That would be in the console from my understanding. All I did was press enter and "Hello" appeared. Many thanks to all of you!
if you don't just press Enter, but type something, it will be used in the greeting
