Python User Input – Taking Input from the User

Python allows you to interact with users by taking keyboard input using the input( ) function.

Basic Syntax

input("Your message here")

It always returns the input as a string by default.

Example 1: Take a name from the user

name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello,", name)

#Output - 
Enter your name: Rishik
Hello, Rishik

Example 2: Take a number (convert to int)

age = input("Enter your age: ")
age = int(age)  # Convert to integer
print("Next year, you will be", age + 1)

#Output -
Enter your age: 25
Next year, you will be 26

Example 3: Multiple Inputs (Using split( ))

name, age = input("Enter your name and age: ").split()
print("Name:", name)
print("Age:", age)

#Output - 
Enter your name and age: Alice 25
Name: Alice
Age: 25

Important Points

Feature	Details
`input()`	Takes user input (returns as string)
`int(input())`	Converts input to integer
`float(input())`	Converts input to float
`input().split()`	Splits input into multiple values
`input().upper()`	Converts input to uppercase

Example 4: Safely Taking Integer Input

try:
    number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    print("Double of your number:", number * 2)
except ValueError:
    print("Please enter a valid number!")

Summary

Use input( ) to take user input.
Always convert to int, float, etc. if needed.
Use split( ) for multiple values in one line.
Wrap in try-except for safer code.
