The program takes three pieces of personal information from the user: name, age, and weight. From these mundane items, the program is able to produce some amusing but trivial facts about the person, such as how much the person would weigh on the moon. Though this may seem like a simple program (and it is), you’ll find that the program is more interesting when you run it because you’ve had input. You’ll care more about the results because they’re personally tailored to you. This holds true for all programs, from games to business applications.
The interpreter responds by displaying the following on the screen: Game Over Ta da! You’ve written your first Python program! You’re a real programmer (with a little more to learn, but that goes for all of us). Using the print Function Take a look at the line you entered, print("Game Over"). Notice how straightforward it is. Without knowing anything about programming, you could have probably guessed what it does. That’s Python in a nutshell. It’s concise and clear. You’ll appreciate this even more as you learn how to do more complex things with the language.
