Hello, Again

Problem to Solve

In a file called hello.py in a folder called sentimental-hello, implement a program that prompts a user for their name, and then prints hello, so-and-so, where so-and-so is their provided name, exactly as you did in Problem Set 1. Except that your program this time should be written in Python!

Hints

Recall that you can get a str from a user with get_string, which is declared in the cs50 library.
Recall that you can print a str with print.
Recall that you can create formatted strings in Python by prepending f to a string itself. For example, f"{name}" will substitute (“interpolate”) the value of the variable name where you’ve written {name}.

Demo

How to Test

While check50 is available for this problem, you’re encouraged to first test your code on your own for each of the following.

Run your program as python hello.py, and wait for a prompt for input. Type in David and press enter. Your program should output hello, David.
Run your program as python hello.py, and wait for a prompt for input. Type in Inno and press enter. Your program should output hello, Inno.
Run your program as python hello.py, and wait for a prompt for input. Type in Kamryn and press enter. Your program should output hello, Kamryn.

How to Submit

Per Step 4 below, after you submit, be sure to check your autograder results. If you see SUBMISSION ERROR: missing files (0.0/1.0), it means your file was not named exactly as prescribed (or you uploaded it to the wrong problem).

Correctness in submissions entails everything from reading the specification, writing code that is compliant with it, and submitting files with the correct name. If you see this error, you should resubmit right away, making sure your submission is fully compliant with the specification. The staff will not adjust your filenames for you after the fact!

Download your hello.py file by control-clicking or right-clicking on the file in your codespace’s file browser and choosing Download.
Go to CS50’s Gradescope page.
Click Problem Set 6: Sentimental (Hello).
Drag and drop your hello.py file to the area that says Drag & Drop. Be sure it has that exact filename! If you upload a file with a different name, the autograder likely will fail when trying to run it. Ensuring you have uploaded files with the correct filename is your responsibility!
Click Upload.

You should see a message that says “Problem Set 6: Sentimental (Hello) submitted successfully!”
