Project: Mad Libs

Project: Mad Libs

• In this project you build a small story machine.
• It asks for a few words, then puts them into a story.
• You use what you know: input(), joining strings with +, and string methods.

What you will build

Mia
cat
pizza
The story of Mia
================
Mia has a pet CAT.
It eats pizza every day.

• The first three lines are what the user types. The rest is the story.

Step 1: collect the words

• Each input() reads one line. Store each word in its own variable.
• Join the words with +, and put the spaces inside the quotes.

Step 2: change a word

• .upper() gives a CAPITAL copy: "cat".upper() is "CAT".
• Each print adds one line to the story.

Step 3: a title with a line under it

• len(text) counts the characters in a string.
• "=" * 5 repeats a string five times: =====.
• So "=" * len(title) draws a line exactly as long as the title.

title = "Hello"
print(title)
print("=" * len(title))

Now build it

• Three steps. Each task starts with your code from the step before.
• Press Run and type the words yourself, then press Check answer.
