Objective

Build a console-based mad lib game.

A mad lib is a word game where players fill in blanks with random words — like nouns, verbs, or places — to complete a silly story. The result is often weird, funny, and totally unexpected.

Skills to Practice

  • Asking the user for input
  • Storing input in a variable
  • Using variables to format and display output

Tasks

  • Create a new Python program named cc-mad-lib.
  • Print a story title at the start of your program.
  • Ask the user to enter at least 5 words (for example: a noun, a verb, an adjective).
  • Insert those words into a pre-written story template.
  • Print the completed story in a fun, readable format.
