In this tutorial, we will learn about the Python input() function with the help of examples.
The input() method takes input from the user and returns it.
Example
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(name)
# Output: Enter your name: "Sheeran"
# Sheeran
1. input() Syntax
The syntax of input() method is:
input([prompt])
2. input() Parameters
The input() method takes a single optional argument:
- prompt (Optional) – a string that is written to standard output (usually screen) without trailing newline
3. input() Return Value
The input() method reads a line from the input (usually from the user), converts the line into a string by removing the trailing newline, and returns it.
If EOF is read, it raises an EOFError exception.
4. Example 1: How input() works in Python?
# get input from user
inputString = input()
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)
Output
Python is interesting. The inputted string is: Python is interesting
5. Example 2: Get input from user with a prompt
# get input from user
inputString = input('Enter a string:')
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)
Output
Enter a string: Python is interesting. The inputted string is: Python is interesting
