greeting the user. Make it display your name!

Task 3 .
Step 1
Extend the existing program from the previous task by typing in two similar additional
statements. Note that line 4 is incomplete.

1 user = "Claude"
2 print("Hello", user)
3 lucky = 13
4 print( )

Hello Claude
My lucky number is 13

Make sure that your program displays the value of the lucky variable, not just the
number 13.

If you encounter an error message, read it and try to fix the problem.
Write down any errors that you encountered and how you fixed them.

Step 3
Once you manage to run the program, you should see this prompt:

What’s your name?

The program is still running: it is executing the input function, which is waiting for the
user to type something on the keyboard.
Type your name and press Enter. What is the output of the program?

Step 4
Run your program again.
Type a different name and press Enter. What is the output of the program?
