Hey there, let's try a bit of Python
practice around taking input from users,
0:04
try and accept blocks, and conditions.
0:09
There's a workspace attached to this
video where you can write your code, or
0:12
you can do it locally by downloading
the workspace through the File menu.
0:15
All right,
let's see what you need to do and
0:20
these instructions are deceptively simple.
0:22
This challenge has three major steps, but
0:25
of course there's probably some minor
steps you'll need to discover on your own.
0:27
First, you need to get input
from the user for their name and
0:30
what year they were born.
0:34
You wanna make sure that they give
you a year that's an integer.
0:35
We don't have Star Trek's
floating point dates just yet.
0:37
Then you'll need to figure out what
year they'll turn 25, 50, 75, and 100.
0:40
It's gonna require some math.
0:46
And lastly, you need to print
out when those years are.
0:48
So I'm kinda leaving this part up to you,
0:51
at least a little bit,
I don't care how you format your message.
0:54
Go ahead and format them however you want.
0:57
It'd be good though if you use their name,
since you asked for it, and
0:59
said something like, Kenneth,
you'll be 50 in the year 2031.
1:02
And don't put out any ages or
years that are already passed.
1:06
These should only be days that
they have to look forward to.
1:09
All right, I'm gonna let you get to it and
I'll see you in the next video
