News You Can Bruise for 2000 May 31

I can now assign to variables and print them out. I'm making good money in my spare time!

What is your name?

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
