Shortcut

A shortcut:

>>> def hello_there():

name = input("Type your name: ")
print("Hi", name, "how are you?")

You can specify the prompt for the input() function directly inside the function. The prompt is the text that the function will print to ask a user for input.

Now what happens when you call the function? Does anything change?

>>> hello_there()

Type your name: John
Hi John how are you?
