## The JavaScript user input
The **user input** in JavaScript is a method used to request input data. In layman’s terms, it is like a fruit basket that is used to collect fruit from the farm and later process for storage.

Once data is received and "Enter" is pressed, the data is returned. Otherwise, it returns `null`.

## Syntax

```
prompt(data)
```

## Code



let person = prompt("Please enter your name");

if (person != null) {
  document.getElementById("content").innerHTML =
  "Hello " + person + "! How are you today?";
}
