: I think you are interpreting "input" as something like C's "standard input", but "input" has been a general concept that has included files for decades. (And, in fact, the OS abstraction that we think of when we say "standard input" was strongly influenced by this more general usage.)
: Anyways, it's probably good to use console input for this, but I think we can forgive people who went with a more general interpretation of that word.
: That said, it might be interesting to think about a "[[User_input/Text|user input's text]]" task, and what it would take to wire it up to a mad-lib implementation here which uses some other form of input. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 08:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
:: Makes sense. Does it make sense for this task to take the replacements from anything other than console input though? On the one hand, that's not really part of the core string manipulation. On the other hand, hard coding the questions and answers is against the spirit of the problem. [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] ([[User talk:MagiMaster|talk]]) 01:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
::: Are you asking about the entries which have been marked as incorrect, or something else? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 02:10, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
