The syntax of input() method is:
input([prompt])
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
Return value from input()
The input() method reads a line from input (usually user), converts the line into a string by removing the trailing newline, and returns it.
If EOF is read, it raises an EOFError exception.
Example 1: How input() works in Python?
# get input from user
inputString = input()
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)
When you run the program, the output will be:
Python is interesting. The inputted string is: Python is interesting
Example 2: Get input from user with a prompt
# get input from user
inputString = input('Enter a string:')
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)
When you run the program, the output will be:
Enter a string: Python is interesting. The inputted string is: Python is interesting
