input()

input() is use when we need to enter data (when running the programme) on console and assign to a variable.

Usage

input.py

name = input("Please enter your name: ")
age = input("Please enter your age: ")

print(name)
print(age)

print(type(name))
print(type(age))

Input Value:

John
56

Results:

Please enter your name: John
Please enter your age: 56
John
56
<class 'str'>
<class 'str'>

Note

• The default data type from input() is str.
• So, we have to Convert the data type accordingly.

convert-input-data-type.py

age = input("Please enter your age: ")

age = int(age)

print(f"Value: {age} Type: {type(age)}")

# or

age2 = int(input("Please enter your age again: "))

print(f"Value: {age2} Type: {type(age2)}")

Input value

56
78

Results

Please enter your age: 56
Value: 56 Type: <class 'int'>
Please enter your age again: 78
Value: 78 Type: <class 'int'>
