I need help with this. what is a code or a whatever i can use to like scan for what people type in? im making like a quiz thatll ask them questions like their name or something. then at the end i will display all the information and stuff. its just something for fun. i need it to be something like...

print("What is your name?")
term.scaninput(or whatever it is called)
print("Your name is " + input ) 

so if they say their name is Tom then itll go 

Your name is Tom

you could use arguments

local args {...}
a = args[1]
b = args[2]

print ("Your name is"a)

note they would have to enter in there name at the start of the program
