In Python, the input() function is used so that the user can input data. Whatever you enter, this function will convert it to a string. Even if you enter a number, the function will convert it to a string.
The following article is a detailed guide on how to use the input() function in Python as we go through the section below.
print ("What is your name?") x = input() print("You are " + x + ", aren't you?")
For example, I will enter the name Python. Output:
What is your name?
You are Python, aren’t you?
input() function allows you to input data.
input(data)
Parameter Values:
data: a string. For example: name, number, …
Example 1: Basic input() function
print ("Enter your mother name:") x = input() print("What a beautiful name!")
Output:
Enter your mother name:
What a beautiful name!
Example 2: Plus 1. Because the function will convert the input to a string. So if you want to input as int then use int()
print("Enter a number") x = int(input()) plus = x + 1 print(plus)
Output:
Enter a number: 11
12
Example 3: Parity check program
def check(x): return (bool(x % 2 == 0)) print("Enter a number") x = int(input()) if (check(x)): print("It is an even number") else: print("It is an odd number")
Output:
Enter a number: 8
It is an even number
