So when you have a function called GetString, -- that means it's going to get a string from the user -- -- prompt the user for a string -- whereas printf is literally going to print it, not to paper, but to the screen.

所以当你有一个叫做GetSting的函数，它的意思是从用户那获得一个字符串-,提示用户输入一个字符串-,然而printf的确是用来打印的，不是在纸上，而是在屏幕上。

So long as I say I'm gonna put a string here, it doesn't matter what string it is, GetString is gonna take care of the job of getting it from the user.

把变量放在这，我们先不要管这个string是什么，GetString会负责,从用户那里获取该值。
