Hi Robert, for displaying strings with variable content, string formatting is a real boon. See <http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html> for details. But here is a bit to give you the idea: >>> def silly_example(): name = raw_input('What is your name?\n') if name[0].isalpha(): if name[0].lower() in ('aeiou'): char_type = 'a vowel' else: char_type = 'a consonant' else: char_type = "something other than a letter" print "Hello, %s. Your name begins with %s." %(name, char_type) >>> silly_example() What is your name? Brian Hello, Brian. Your name begins with a consonant. >>> silly_example() What is your name? Alberto Hello, Alberto. Your name begins with a vowel. >>> silly_example() What is your name? 42 Hello, 42. Your name begins with something other than a letter. >>> See if you can get somewhere with these ideas. If you get stuck, post some code, and someone will be glad to help more.
