Getting User Input
Progress
1 / 8
Get input from users and manipulate string data.
Read one card at a time. Focus on the main idea first, then look at the visual on the right to help it stick.
input() lets a program ask the user for data.
Input is always received as a string.
Store the result in a variable for later use.
Example: name = input("What is your name? ")
Programs become interactive once input is added.
Remember
User input makes a program respond to people instead of always doing the same thing.
