Input Techniques
1. Taking input using input() function -> this function by default takes string as input.
Example:
Python3
#For stringstr = input()# For integersn = int(input())# For floating or decimal numbersn = float(input()) |
2. Taking Multiple Inputs: Multiple inputs in Python can be taken with the help of the map() and split() methods. The split() method splits the space-separated inputs and returns an iterable whereas when this function is used with the map() function it can convert the inputs to float and int accordingly.
Example:
Python3
# For Stringsx, y = input().split()# For integers and floating point# numbersm, n = map(int, input().split()) m, n = map(float, input().split()) |
3. Taking input as a list or tuple: For this, the split() and map() functions can be used. As these functions return an iterable we can convert the given iterable to the list, tuple, or set accordingly.
Example:
Python3
# For Input - 4 5 6 1 56 21 # (Space separated inputs)n = list(map(int, input().split()))print(n) |
Output:
[4, 5, 6, 1, 56, 21]
4. Taking Fixed and variable numbers of input:
Python3
# Input: w3wiki 2 0 2 0str, *lst = input().split()lst = list(map(int, lst))print(str, lst) |
Output:
w3wiki [2, 0, 2, 0]
