Python – input() function

Reading input from End-user :

  • input() function is pre-defined.
  • It is used to read input while application is running.
  • It returns the input in String format only
  • We need to convert these String type input values into corresponding type for processing
print(“Enter your name :”)
name = input()
print(“Hello,”,name)

Note: We can give the prompt while reading input

name = input(“Enter your name : “)
print(“Hello,”,name)

Note: Every input value will be returned in String format only.

print(“Enter 2 numbers :”)
a = input()
b = input()
c = a+b   # “5” + “6” = “56”
print(“Sum :”,c)

int( ) :

  • It is pre-defined function
  • It can convert input value into integer type.
  • On success, it returns integer value
  • On failure(if the input is not valid, raised error)

Adding 2 numbers

print(“Enter 2 numbers :”)
a = input()
b = input()
c = int(a)+int(b)
print(“Sum :”,c)
