Hi Arnav,

this works fine for me:

def asking_your_name(): 
    name = input("What's your name? ") 
    print("Nice to meet you, {}.".format(name))

def asking_your_age(): 
    age = input("What's your age? ") 
    if age > 50: 
        print("Time to leave your job. ") 
    elif age > 30: 
        print("Time to work!") 
    elif age > 13: 
        print("Wow! You are a teen!") 
    else: 
        print("Still a youngster! ") 

asking_your_name() 
asking_your_age()

Hope this helps :)

No I am not doing my homework. I am just learning python on my own. I just wanted build a simple program using waht I have learnt in python basics. That's all. Thanks by the way.

Thanks. I just wanted to know how to attach your script as you have done the same.

Hey Arnav, what do you mean with "attach" your script?

You can use .format(play) method to format your lines of code. Is this what you need?

play = input("Want to play with you age? ")
print("Some text {}".format(play))
// instead of {} you will provide your input

Also I needed a bit more help. I wanted to create an another variable name 'play' in asking_your_age function. play = input("Want to play with you age? ") This input should come along with the printed message in each of the four cases. Can you please code that for me.

This sounds like you are trying to get someone to do your homework.

How about you make an attempt and doing it and post up your work. We can then help point you in the right direction.
