Batch file specifically set command help

I'm in a class and we discussed what set /p does, but I wasn't paying close attention, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what set /p does and an example of how I can use it in a batch file for dos

set /p is a set command with a 'prompt' flag fed to it, meaning that it will prompt the user for a value to set the variable to. Example (untested):

set /p "myvar=Enter a value: "
echo You said %myvar%
