04-01: Mad Libs Story Generator¶

Home | All Projects | Notes | Exercises | Quiz Hub

A classic word-substitution game. The player supplies nouns, verbs, adjectives, and other word types without seeing the story — then reads the (often hilarious) result.

Topics covered: input() · f-strings · string methods (.strip(), .title(), .isalpha()) · functions · dictionaries · while-loop input validation

Difficulty: ⭐ Beginner

Two Versions¶

This folder contains two versions of the project:

main.py — the AI-written code.
project01.ipynb — the practiced, human-made version (it's a .ipynb file because it was practiced in Jupyter Notebook).

The two are similar in structure and behaviour. The explanation below is for main.py only.

How to Run¶

python main.py

No external libraries required — pure Python 3.
