''' Purpose: demonstrate string acquisition (the getting of input)
'''

# get input

# input() function - HANDS BACK WHAT THE USER ENTERED AS A STRING
# The string you type is stored in reply!
# reply is assigned whatever the user typed EXACTLY
# as they typed it
# So if I put dabchick, reply = "dabchick"
# Soooo input( 'Whatever Question I wanna put') is going to
# basically put whatever is in the parenthesis in the console
# and wait for the user to put something as input and hit enter!
# It will not proceed until you hit enter!

reply = input( 'Tell me a favorite word: ' )

print()

# compute length of word
# the len() function takes in a string and hands back the number of
# character in that string.
# len( "Nadia" ) is five characters right? So len("Nadia") is 5.

n = len( reply )

# give feedback

print( 'Did you know that', reply, 'has length', n )
