favorite_color = "purple"
input(favorite_color)
print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!")

The input() function allows the user to enter in something.
user_name = input()
print(user_name)
When you run the above program, the program will wait for the user to enter something. Then it will print out whatever the user entered. In other words, whatever the user inputted is what will be assigned to the variable "user_name".
You can also add a prompt parameter when you use the input function. So you could do something like:
user_name = input("What is your name? ")
print(user_name)
Again, this will print out whatever the user entered. However, the program will now prompt the user to enter their name. After the user does so, it will print out the name. Hope this helps.
