Okay, so you're just getting started with python. We're happy to do some hand-holding, but we encourage you to think first.

You've followed the rest of the instructions and run the program? Don't worry about being precise with your answer to this question. Just try to express what you think is happening (we'll build on what you give us to make it clearer).

Take care,
Don
