Accepting Input from User

Basic way of accepting input:

input('Please enter your name: ') # Asks user to enter their name

To use that data:

name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print("Hello there " + name)

To prevent the variable from containing the extra spaces:

name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print("Hello there " + name.strip()) # Strip removes spaces

• Anything that the user types as input it will be taken as a STRING even if it is a number

To do math:

number = input('Enter your number: ')
print(5 + int(number))
