1. Open Small Basic.

2. Type the following code:

1. Open a new file in Small Basic.

2. Type the following code:

TextWindow.Write("Item 1: ")

item1 = TextWindow.Read()

TextWindow.WriteLine("You selected " + item1)

3. Run the program and see what it does.

1. Open a new file in Small Basic.

2. Start your chat bot by typing the following code:

TextWindow.WriteLine("Welcome to the chat bot, what is your name?")

name = TextWindow.Read()

TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello " + name + " nice to meet you")

3. Run your program and check that it works so far.

4. You now need to continue your chat bot by coming up with four more questions to ask it and the chat bot must respond in an appropriate way, see the example of the right.

Extension:

• Can you change the colour of some of the text to make the chat bot easier to follow?
