Chapter 8: Input

Using the input() function, we can take input from the user, store it in a variable, and use it for further programming.

 

Note: The input() function always takes input as a string.

 

name = input("Write your name: ")

Output: Write your name: (Enter your name here)

chapter = input("What is the chapter number: ") # take the input as a string

Output: What is the chapter number: (Enter the chapter number here)

 

Here, both inputs will prompt the user to enter a value.

 

In Python, we can also take multiple inputs in a single line using the .split() method.

name, chapter = input("Enter your name, age, and city (separated by comma): ").split(",")

Output: Enter your name, age, and city (separated by comma): (input one) , (input two) , (input three)
