When the assignment statement runs, the following steps happen in order:
1. The prompt string is printed to the Shell.
2. The program stops and waits for the user to type a response.
3. The user enters some sequence of characters into the Shell as an answer.
4. When the user presses the Enter key (Windows) or the Return key (Mac), input returns the characters that the user typed.
5. Typically, input is used on the right-hand side of an assignment statement. The user’s response is stored into the variable on the left-hand side of the equals sign.
