Python has two functions designed for accepting data directly from the user:
- Python 2.x. -> raw_input()
- Python 3.x. -> input()
raw_input():
raw_input() asks the user for a string of data and simply returns the string, the string data ended with a newline). It can also take an argument, which is displayed as a prompt before the user enters the data.
print raw_input('Input your name: ')
prints out
Input your name:
To assign the user's name to a variable "x" you can use following command :
x = raw_input('Input your name: ')
input():
In 3.x .raw_input() is renamed to input(). input() function reads a line from sys.stdin and returns it with the trailing newline stripped.
To assign the user's name to a variable "y" you can use following command :
y = input('Input your name: ')
Code:
fname = input("Input your First Name : ")
lname = input("Input your Last Name : ")
print ("Hello " + lname + " " + fname)
Output:
Input your First Name : Dany Input your Last Name : Boon Hello Boon Dany
