OO in Our Chatbot
Now that you know the theoretical basics, let's look at these facilities and how they are
used in our program. Let's open
Lesson 2/3-project in our IDE and extend our chatbot, which was developed in the previous chapter.
Decoupling Logic and Environment
To do this, we
must decouple the environment and logic, and integrate only one in the
main method.
Let's open the

For example, let's look at
UserOutput:
