Explanation
The script creates three variables, two for the values the user entered (nbrIn1 and nbrIn2) into the form and the third for their sum (intSum). The form method of the request object returns the values the user entered.
After calculating the sum of the inputs, the script writes them to the output page using the write method of the response object.
