🎯 What you will learn
- Combine print, variables and input
- Plan a program before coding
- Share your project
👋 Let’s get started!
Time for your first PROJECT 🏆! You’ll build a Silly Story Maker: it asks for words, then mixes them into a funny story. Use everything you learned!
🪜 Step by step
1. 🗺️ Plan
Decide which words to ask for: a name, an animal, a food, a number.
2. 🙋 Ask
Use input() for each word and save it in a variable.
name = input("A name: ")
animal = input("An animal: ")3. 📖 Tell the story
Use print() and + to put the words into sentences.
print("Once upon a time, " + name + " met a dancing " + animal + "!")🧪 Try it!
Change the code and press ▶ Run to see what happens. You can’t break anything!
Silly Story Maker
name = input("A name: ")
animal = input("An animal: ")
food = input("A food: ")
number = input("A number: ")
print("📖 The Silly Story")
print("Once upon a time, " + name + " found a giant " + animal + ".")
print("The " + animal + " ate " + number + " bowls of " + food + "!")
print("Then they danced until the moon giggled. The end! 🌙")Order the story program
hero = input("Hero name: ")
place = input("A place: ")
print(hero + " flew to " + place + "!")
print("The end 🎬")📖 Key words
