Hello, Jake Berendes.

The crazy thing is, that's easier to do in Smokey than in C or C++ (because Smokey has a built-in string data type).

Here's the code for that:

hello;
begin
    var a: "What is your name?\n";
    var b: string;
    write a;
    read b;
    write "Hello, ", b, ".\n";
end
end hello
