The print() function should work fine. Refer the code below

print("This should appear on your screen")

string = "Hi TreeHouse"
print(string)

Hey so you use the print function to print something to the screen, like:
print("Thomas Covington")

This would be Thomas Covington on the screen

You use the input method to get Data from the person using your program, like: food = input("What is your favorite food?")

The program would ask the user for his / her favorite food and the word (the favorite food of the user) would be stored in the food variable.

I hope I helped you! I would be happy if you mark my answers as "best answer" :) Have a nice day.
