To read input from the keyboard in Python, you can use the input()
function. The input()
function reads a line of input from the keyboard and returns it as a string.
Here's an example of how to use the input()
function to read input from the keyboard in Python:
# Read input from the keyboard name = input("Enter your name: ") print(f"Hello, {name}!")
This will prompt the user to enter their name, and then it will print a greeting using the name that the user entered.
It's important to note that the input()
function returns a string, so if you want to use the input as a different data type (such as an integer or a float), you will need to convert the string to the desired data type. For example:
# Read input from the keyboard and convert it to an integer age = int(input("Enter your age: ")) print(f"You are {age} years old.")
This will prompt the user to enter their age, and then it will print a message using the age that the user entered.
In Python 2, the raw_input()
function was used to read input from the keyboard. However, in Python 3, the input()
function replaces the raw_input()
function and behaves the same way.
