    # typically text output to the terminal)

    # On this line, we'll add the end parameter
    # so that the cursor doesn't go to the next line
    # and puts the prompt on the same line as "Name:"
    # print("Name: ", end=" ")

    # "input" is what's called a blocking function,
    # and it waits on the user to hit Enter before
    # allowing the program to continue executing
    name = input("Name: ")

    # Here we get the result from the input function
    # which is returned as a string, and combine a
    # few strings together to form a single string.
    # Plus symbols are used to combine multiple strings
    # together. The print function only accepts a single
    # string, so we must combine them.

    # int() function to *cast* a string into an integer.

    # This is a basic "for" loop. range() is used in Python to
    # iterate over a range of numbers. In this loop, the indented
    # code will be called the number of times in the range() function
    for x in range(age):
