Hello,     
    I am a newcomer, I guess I'm have trouble thinking like a computer yet. My question is:
in this program: 
>>> resp = raw_input("What's your name? ")

>>> print "Hi, %s, nice to meet you" % resp 
    
    does %s mean 'place the user response here' and secondly what and why do I put % resp at the end of the print statement? I know this is very basic and future questiions will be more interesting I hope.
                                                    Richard H.
