The interactive prompt can be used for testing out functions and the like 
before inserting into your program.  You can define and then call a function 
from the interactive prompt, whereas if you were coding a program in a text 
editor, you would have to save it and run it just to see if your function 
worked.  At least, that is what I use it for.
