Telegram_bot

In this project, I built a telegram bot that can be initialized from the command line. It is a relatively simple bot that displays text messages based on the commands entered by the user.

What this bot does

• It can interact with the user when the user enters "/hey" or "/how_ya" commands
• It displays a random joke with your name in it
• It can also display a random motivational quote

Acceptable commands

/help 

/hey

/how_ya

/init

/bye

/rdm_quote

/rdm_joke
