Solve this. Options

[Maccabee]

My teacher showed me, but I forgot and cant find what it is called or how to solve it.

CODE

function get_name(name)
{
    // test to make sure it is a string that isn't empty
    // test to make sure that it is at least 3 characters long
    // test to make sure that it is either Paul, John or Bob and no one else
    alert("Hi " + name);
}

How can I tell it what name is? and it would be mice if someone could tell me how to tell it the name too. Something like:

CODE

var name = prompt("What is your name?","");

This is javascript btw. Not php. I keep getting confused too...

I have watched all the lynda.com javascript tutorials and all the w3schools.com javascript tutorials and for some reason I cant solve this. Thanks.

document.write() is (roughly) JavaScript's equivalent of PHP's echo.
