Taking Input in Python

In this lesson, we will see how to use input( ) function.

input( )
The input( ) function allows user input.

For example,

The code below takes String input from the user. String is a sequence of
characters.

print('Enter your name:')


x = input()
print('Hello, ' + x)

We can also write as,

x = input('Enter your name:')


print('Hello, ' + x)

As we have seen in the above example that when we receive the input using
input() function in the form of String. To convert the string input to integer we
use the int() function with the input( ) function.

num = int(input("Enter an Integer: "))


print(num)

In the similar way, we can also accept float values (decimal values) by using
float( ) function with the input( ) function.

num = float(input("Enter a float value: "))


print(num)

Program to add two numbers:

first_num = int (input(“Enter first number”))

second_num = int (input(“Enter second number”))

s = first_num + second_num

print(“Addition of two numbers is: ” , s)

As you know variables are like containers for storing values (data).

There are certain rules to be followed while naming them.

Rules for name variables:


1. A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character.
2. A variable name cannot start with a number.
3. A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and
underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _). Cannot contain any other special character
like % & @ etc.
4. Variable names are case-sensitive (name, NAME and Name are
considered as three different variables).
5. Cannot give keywords as variable names.
