input()
input() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Reads a line from input, converts to string, and returns it (stripping the trailing newline). The syntax is input(prompt=""). Parameters: prompt — optional prompt string. Returns: Input string. A typical example: name = input("Enter name: ")
age = int(input("Age: ")). A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
