The input() function allows users to input data during a program’s execution, enabling interactive programming. Let’s dive into its syntax and uses.
The basic syntax is input(prompt). The prompt is optional but can be used to display a message asking for user input.
Example: name = input("Enter your name: "). The user types a response, and it’s stored in the name variable.
By default, the input() function returns data as a string. Use functions like int() to convert input to other types
Handle invalid input using try-except blocks to prevent runtime errors. Example: catching a ValueError when converting to int().
Use input() for interactive applications, quizzes, or command-line tools where user input is necessary for program flow.
