You can take input in Python by using the raw_input() or the input() function command. The input() function reads the input and assigns whatever datatype it thinks best suits the input.
input(prompt) prompt:- A String, representing a default message before the input.
Note: raw_input() function has been discontinued in Python 3 and is only available in Python 2.
Example take string input in Python
A simple example code takes input from the user and returns (print) it.
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(name)Output:
Keep in mind that the input() function always returns a string, regardless of what the user enters. If you need to process the input as a different data type (e.g., an integer or a float), you’ll need to perform the appropriate conversion using functions like int() or float().
Another example
# Prompt the user to enter their name
name = input("Enter your name: ")
# Greet the user
print("Hello, " + name + "! Welcome to the program.")
# Prompt the user to enter their favorite color
color = input("What is your favorite color? ")
# Print a message using the user's input
print("Wow, " + name + "! " + color + " is a great choice!")
# Calculate the length of the user's name
name_length = len(name)
# Display the length of the user's name
print("By the way, your name has", name_length, "characters.")
When you run this code, it will ask the user to enter their name. After the user enters their name and presses Enter, it will display a greeting message using their name. Then, it will ask for their favorite color and display a message using both the name and the color. Finally, it will calculate and display the length of the user’s name.
