Exercise 11: Asking Questions
Now it is time to pick up the pace. You are doing a lot of printing to get you familiar with typing simple things, but those simple things are fairly boring. What we want to do now is get data into your programs. This is a little tricky because you have to learn to do two things that may not make sense right away but trust me and do it anyway. It will make sense in a few exercises.

- Take some kind of input from a person.
- Change it.
- Print out something to show how it changed.
