Input and Output
Most coding challenges on Learneroo have input and output. Your program needs to read in input from the Standard Input and output text to the Standard Output. If the output is correct, you will pass the challenge. Since it can be a hassle to input raw text, boilerplate code is usually provided on the bottom of the code to process the input for you. Sometimes, the boilerplate code will also print to output for you, so you just need to return a value to it.
