Python allows for user input. That means we are able to ask the user for input either to interact with users and get data to provide some sort of result. Most programs today use a dialog box for that but for console we are using input.
input() function
The input from the user is read as a string and in most cases is assigned to a variable. After entering the value from the keyboard, you have to press the “Enter/Return” button. Then the input() function reads the value entered by the user.
Syntax
variable = input(message)
The message string is displayed on the console and the control is given to the user to enter the value. You should print some useful information to guide the user to enter the expected value.
Example
name = input("What is your name:")
print("Hello " + name+"! Welcome to my Tutorial.")
Input numeric values
favoriteNumber = int(input("What is your favorite number? "))
print("Your favorite number is {}".format(favoriteNumber))
If you put in a non numeric value, you will get this error which means that you input an invalid value for int
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10
