In this post, we will see how to take input from user in Python.

  • To read input from user we use the input() method
  • There are 2 cases when reading input from the user, They are

Reading single input

To read a single input from the user, we can simply use the input() method.

Syntax

variable = input(' prompt ')

Example

name = input("enter name")
print(name)

Reading integers from console

n = int(input("enter n"))
print(n)

Reading float values from console

n = float(input("enter n"))
print(n)

Reading Multiple inputs

To read multiple values we need to use the split() method or list comprehension.

Using split() method

a,b = input("enter first and last name").split()
print(a+b)

Using list comprehension

x, y = [int(x) for x in input("Enter value ").split()] 
print(x+y)
