Challenge: Create a Text Field

Hello @mwansa

input elements are for capturing input from users of your website. For example if a user is to log in to website, you present a form which contain input fields where they enter their username, password, email e.t.c. The lesson has just introduced you to an input element. In real web pages, they usually reside inside form elements.
