Python Program Components

Let’s look at another Python program that creates short nonsense sentences:

Listing 2.1: Mad Lib

1 # madlib.py

2 # Your Name

5 noun = input("Enter a noun: ")

6 verb = input("Enter a verb: ")

7 adverb = input("Enter an adverb: ")

8 print("A", adjective, noun, "should never", verb, adverb)
