 So, functions can **return** something but how can we *use* the returned objects?
 This is where **variables** come in handy.
+The `input` function will **always** return an object of type `str`.
+If we want to use this object later in our code we need to add a *post-it* to it so we can reference it later.
+Remember that the object is created by the function call, and we add the reference after the object's creation.

+Try playing around with the `input` function and incorporate the different ways to print with it.
+Ask multiple questions and combine the answers to print on one line.

 ## Functions can take arguments
 
+Some, if not most, functions will take one or more arguments when calling them.
+This might sound complicated but you've already done this!
+The `print` function takes *a-message-to-print* as an argument, or even multiple ones as you probably noticed when playing around.
+
+The `input` function *can* take arguments but as we've seen does not *require* an argument.
+When looking at the documentation we can discover **what** the function does, how to **call** the function and what it **returns**.
+
+⛑ **CTRL-q opens the documentation in pycharm**
+
+```
+Help on built-in function input in module builtins:
+
+input(prompt=None, /)
+    Read a string from standard input.  The trailing newline is stripped.
+    
+    The prompt string, if given, is printed to standard output without a
+    trailing newline before reading input.
+    
+    If the user hits EOF (*nix: Ctrl-D, Windows: Ctrl-Z+Return), raise EOFError.
+    On *nix systems, readline is used if available.
+```
+
+We can add one **argument** inside the `input` call which serves as a prompt.
+Now which `type` should the object we pass to `input` be?
+The most logical type would be a `str` that represents the *question* to ask the user no?
+Let's try it out.
+
+```python3
+```
