This article is about how to take input in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every computer application needs to accept input from the user when it is running. Further, this will make the application more interactive.  This majorly will depend on how it is developed, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/python-applications\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6890\">application<\/a> will accept the user input in the form of text entered in the console <strong>(sys. stdin)<\/strong>, a graphical layout, or a web-based interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"python-user-input\">Python user input<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/setting-up-virtual-environment-in-python\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6906\">Python<\/a> has two built-in methods to read the data from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/restrict-keyword-in-c\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2768\"> keywords<\/a>. Those methods include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a. raw(prompt)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b. raw_input<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"input\">input()<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This input function uses the latest version of Python. Further, it will take input from the user and check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/which-of-the-following-is-a-legal-expression-in-sql\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1856\">expression<\/a>. Whereas, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/how-does-a-python-interpreter-works\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6895\">Python interpreter<\/a> will analyze whether the user<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/input-output-system-calls-in-c-create-open-close-read-write\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3685\"> inputs<\/a> a string, number, or list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Python program showing  \n# a use of input()  \n  \nname = input(\"Enter your name: \")  \nprint(name)  <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Enter your name: Albert\nDevansh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the Python interpreter won&#8217;t run the further line until the user enters the input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Python program showing  \n# a use of input()  \nname = input(\"Enter your name: \")  # String Input  \nage = int(input(\"Enter your age: \")) # Integer Input  \nmarks = float(input(\"Enter your marks: \")) # Float Input  \nprint(\"The name is:\", name)  \nprint(\"The age is:\", age)  \nprint(\"The marks is:\", marks)  <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Enter your name: Albert\nEnter your age: 22\nEnter your marks: 89\nThe name is: Albert\nThe age is 22\nThe marks is: 89.0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This example will tell us that the input function will take input as a string and then it is required to enter the integer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-input-function-works\">How input function works?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The flow of the program will be put to an end until the user enters the input. The text <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/break-statement-in-c\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2014\">statement<\/a> is referred to as a prompt and is not mandatory to write the input function. So, the prompt will show the message on the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> However, the input ()  function will turn the user input into a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/what-does-0-mean-in-this-python-string\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3237\"> string<\/a>. It is necessary to turn the input with the help of typecasting.  The raw input function will be used in the Python&#8217;s older version such as Python 2,x. It will take the input from the keyword and will be returned as a string. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Python program showing  \n# a use of raw_input()  \n  \nname = raw_input(\"Enter your name : \")  \nprint name  <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Enter your name: John\nJohn<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-check-the-python-version\">How to check the Python version?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is required to open the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/how-to-mysql-clear-screen-command-in-windows\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1794\">command lines<\/a> in<a href=\"http:\/\/wimdow\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>Windows, shell, or Mac to check the Python version.  Then, we need to execute the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillvertex.com\/blog\/python-history\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6864\">Python version<\/a>.
