Very Easy question concerning input

[Orlando Vazquez]

how about this? (i assume in the last `raw_input' you meant to put the
parantheses...)

>>> name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
What is your name? orlando
>>> name
'orlando'
>>> choice1 = raw_input("welcome, %s would you like to do something?" % (name,))
welcome, orlando would you like to do something?
