input()

Let's show the use of the input() function simply by taking the name from the user.

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

Output:

Enter your name: Baransel
Baransel

As seen above, we received a name information from the user. We printed the information we received with the print() function, which we processed in our previous lesson.

For example, let's take two numbers from the user and add them

number1 = input("Enter the first number: ")
number2 = input("Enter the second number: ")

sum = number1 + number2
print("Total: ", sum)

Output:

Enter the first number: 52
Enter the second number: 45
Total: 5245

As you can see, we got the result of 1225, it actually gave the numbers 12 and 25 written side by side, not the sum of these two numbers.

With the input() function, we can only get String (text) data types from the user.

In other words, it took numbers in String type, so how do we import data of Integer (integer) type?

number1 = input("Enter the first number: ")
number2 = input("Enter the second number: ")

sum = int(number1) + int(number2)
print("Total: ", sum)

format() method:
