#  Note that the character that will be read from the
#  keyboard is a single-character string.

#  The literals like ' ', '9' and 'Z' are string literals in Python.
#  Python does not have type char, but single-character strings
#  are often treated like char objects.

#  The logical operators of Python are the keywords
#  and, or, and not.

#  The format specifier %s is used below to print the
#  single-character strings. The specifier %c could be used as well.
