Python raw_input Example (Input From Keyboard)

In Python 2, you can use the raw_input() function to read input from the keyboard. This function reads a line of text from the user and returns it as a string.

Here’s an example of how to use raw_input() in Python 2:

Explanation:

• The raw_input() function prompts the user to enter a string, in this case, their name.
• The entered text is stored in the name variable.
• The print() function is used to print a message to the screen, including the value of the name variable.

In Python 3, raw_input() has been renamed to input(). The example above would be written as follows in Python 3:

The input() function in Python 3 behaves the same as raw_input() in Python 2, but returns the input as a string, rather than evaluating it as an expression.
