This problem falls under: Function Definition and String Formatting.

3: P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Define a function that takes a parameter and prints a formatted string using that parameter.

1. Define the function `greeting(name)`.
2. Use the `print()` function to display the string "Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood {name}! My name is Christopher Robin." using the provided name.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Incorrectly formatting the string (ensure it matches exactly).
• Forgetting to pass the parameter to the function.
