Python 2a - Inputting Strings
Inputting Strings in Python
A string is a collection of characters (letters, numbers and punctuation) such as: “Wednesday”, “Toy Story 4” or “Boeing 747”.
You must include speech marks when writing a string.
Use the input command to ask a question and let a user input data.
After input, you write your question in brackets and speech marks (just like when you print).
The user’s answer must be saved into a variable (e.g. name) which is written first.
Type your answer in the shell
You can then use that variable for other purposes, such as printing it within a sentence:
=
Always choose an appropriate name when using variables.
