how to input a function in python code example

Example 1: input in python

name = input("What is your name?\n") # Asks the user 'What is your name?' and stores it in the 'name' variable

print("You said your name was " + name)

number = int(input("Please select a random number:\n")) # Will get input as a number
# Will error if the value entered is not a number

# You can use any type of conversion (int(), bool(), float(), etc.) to modify your input

Example 2: input in python

x = input()
# This will take you to shell where you input a value for x

print(x)
# Print's the value you typed

y = input('Enter a number: ')
# Will print 'Enter a number: ' to the shell and then wait for you
# to enter a value (Does not have to be a number)

# Copy the code and try it
