What is the use of the input() function in Python?

The input() function takes data typed by the user from the keyboard. The program stops and waits until the user presses Enter, and then the value is returned as a string.

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

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

Output:

Remember that input() always gives a string, even if the user types a number. Use int() or float() to convert it before doing maths. Read more in the Python input() Function chapter.
