Takes a single parameter. Whatever the user typed it takes as an input parameter.
| Parameter | Description | Required / Optional |

| If EOF | it raises an EOFError exception. |
# get input from user
inputString = input()
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)
Output:
Python is interesting. The inputted string is: Python is interesting
# get input from user
inputString = input('Enter a string:')
print('The inputted string is:', inputString)

# take three values from user
name = input("Enter Employee Name: ")
salary = input("Enter salary: ")
company = input("Enter Company name: ")
# Display all values on screen
print("\n")
print("Printing Employee Details")

print(name, salary, company)
Output:
Enter Employee Name: Jessa Enter salary: 8000 Enter Company name: Google Printing Employee Details Name Salary Company Jessa 8000 Google
# convert inout into int
first_number = int(input("Enter first number ")) sec second number "))
print("\n")
print("First Number:", first_number)
print("Second Number:", second_number)
sum1 = first_number + second_number
print("Addition of two number is: ", sum1)
Output:
Enter first number 28 Enter second number 12 First Number: 28 Second Number: 12 Addition of two number is: 40
