Too Long; Didn't Read
Getting input from the user is what makes a program more interactive with the user. In python we have an input function: input() to receive input from a user. When input() function is encountered by python, the program will pause until the user enters data. Later, any input entered by the user will be converted into a string. In these cases make sure that you convert the input to your preferred data type using its corresponding constructors. Let’s see another example to understand this point.Getting input from the user is what makes a program more interactive with the user.So, in these cases make sure that you convert the input to your preferred data type using its corresponding constructors. Let’s see that example too.
Hence, in python we have an input function: input(), to receive input from the user.
Take a look at an example.Output:
Enter any data:Happy new year!
Happy new year!Input Function Under the Hood
When input() function is encountered by python, the program will pause until the user enters data.
Later, any input entered by the user will be converted into a string. Let’s see another example to understand this point.
Output:
Enter any text: Have a great year ahead.
text: Have a great year ahead. , type: <class 'str'>
Enter any number: 2021
number: 2021 , type: <class 'str'>Output:
Enter any number: 2021
number: 2021 , type: <class 'int'>
So, code along and have fun :)
