1 05string Input

This assignment had three parts involving writing a Python program to simulate a chatbot conversation. The student wrote pseudocode for a conversation that asks the user for their name, an animal starting with T, and a favorite vacation place. They then coded the program in Python IDLE following conventions. The output resembled a sample conversation. In a post-mortem review, the student reflected that the purpose was an interactive chatbox to practice string techniques. They noted forgetting spaces caused issues and would add multiple response options in the future.
