Python 3 uses in-built input() function to accept input from keyword. By default, it takes the input as a string.

Let’s try to take a word as our input :

s = input('Enter the string :')
print('You have entered : ',s)

Once this value gets stored in the variable ‘s’, it can be converted to other datatypes like int, float etc.

s = input('Enter the string :')
print('You have entered : ', s, type(s))
# after typecasting -> changing str to int
n = int(s)
print('Typecasted Result : ',n, type(n))

Also, we can use this int() function before input() to accept integer value.

s = int(input('Enter the number :'))
print(type(s)) # checking value type stored by s.

Similarly we use float(input()) to take floating value as an input.

s = float(input('Enter the floating number :'))
print(s)

Taking inputs :

s = input() // taking string as input

n = int(input()) // taking int as input

b = bool(input()) // taking boolean value as input

l = list(input().split(‘,’)) // taking list as a input where elements are seperated by comma

s = tuple(input().split(‘,’)) // taking tuple as a input where elements are seperated by comma

Taking Multiple input in one line :

a,b = input().split(separator, maxsplit)

a, b = input('Enter the values for a, b : ').split(',')
print('Values entered : ',a, b)

Taking a list of ‘n’ integers as input :

inp = list(map(int, input('Enter multiple inputs : ').strip().split()))[:5]
print('Values entered : ', inp)

That’s all, see you in the next lecture.
