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

# get input

reply = input( 'Please provide text: ' )

print( 'Your reply was: ', reply )
# The user input was stored in reply and when
# we print the reply, it will print what the user
# originally typed!

print()

# get more input

# Notice how we wrote reply = input( a different prompt )
# again!
# !!! So we asked for user input again and now we replace the
# value of reply which stored the first user input and we
# now store the second user input in reply!
# !!! You can reuse variables and reassign them/modify their values
# but the old value is lost! So we lost the first reply and
# stored the second user input in reply.

reply = input( 'Please provide more text: ' )

print( 'Your new reply was:', reply )

# In this class example, we take a look at
# input and reassigning variable values.
