Basic Rule-Based Chatbot

A simple rule-based chatbot built in Python as part of my CodeAlpha Python Programming Internship.

Project Description

This chatbot interacts with users using predefined responses. It demonstrates the basic concepts of Python, including:

• Functions
• While loops
• If-elif-else statements
• User input and output
• String methods (lower())

The chatbot continues to interact with the user until they type "bye".

Features

• Greets the user
• Responds to "hello" and "hi"
• Answers "how are you"
• Responds to greetings like "good morning" and "good afternoon"
• Introduces itself
• Responds to "thanks"
• Provides help
• Exits when the user types "bye"
