Input Function

In python, the input() function is used to take input from the user.

Syntax for input() function:

variable = input(prompt)

• prompt: A string that is displayed to the user before taking input. If not provided, the function will simply wait for user input without displaying any prompt.
• variable: The variable where the user's input is stored.

For example:

name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello "+ name)
 
# Example output:
# Enter your name: John
# Hello John

• The input() function prompts the user with "Enter your name: ".
• The user types something, and that input is stored as a string in the name variable.
• The print() function then outputs the message "Hello [name]" to the console.

Note: input() always returns a string:

Even if the user enters a number or other types of data, it will be treated as a string. If you need the input to be a different type (like an integer or float), you'll need to convert it explicitly using functions like int() or float().

For example:

age = input("Enter your age: ")  # Input is stored as string by default
age = int(age)  # Convert string to integer
print("Your age is:", age)
 
# Example output:
# Enter your age: 25
# Your age is: 25
