# The REPL

> **[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]**
>
> Cadet, the *REPL* — Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop — is Python's
> interactive shell. Open it on your machine with `python3` and
> every line you type runs immediately:
>
> ```
> >>> 5 + 7
> 12
> >>> "Hello".upper()
> 'HELLO'
> ```
>
> Use the REPL to figure out the answers. Then write them into a
> function `compute` that returns a tuple of all five, in order:
>
> 1. `5 + 7`
> 2. `100 - 25`
> 3. `6 * 8`
> 4. `"Hello" + " " + "World"`
> 5. `2 ** 10`
