Master Python's input() Function: A Beginner’s Guide

Python input() Function

#input()

When withdrawing cash from an ATM, the system must receive the password you type. In Python, the input() function is used to capture such user input.

#input()

In Python, input() reads data entered from the keyboard. The syntax is: variable = input("Prompt message") Parameters: the string displayed as a prompt to the user.

Notes:

After input() finishes, the variable receives the entered content.

The data type returned by input() is always a string.

The program pauses at the input() call until the user types data and presses Enter.

In Python 3.x, input() reads from standard input and returns a str object.

Example:

password = input("亲,请输入您的密码?")
print(password)

Output:

亲,请输入您的密码=123456
123456

Case study:

# input() function
''' 
   1. Parameter is the prompt message
   2. The entered content is stored in a variable
   3. input() returns a string
   4. Execution pauses until the Enter key is pressed
''' 
age = input("小姐姐，你今年是多少岁了：")
age = input("小姐姐，你好，你叫什么名字呢：")

Result:

小姐姐，你今年是多少岁了：18
小姐姐，你好，你叫什么名字呢：琳琳
18
琳琳

Persistence is challenging but essential for learning programming fundamentals.
