how to input with keyboard in python code

 In Python, you can use the input() function to get input from the user via the keyboard.

Basic Usage:

Python

user_input = input("Enter your name: ") 
print("Hello,", user_input) 

• This code will:
  • Display the message "Enter your name: " on the console.
  • Wait for the user to type their name and press Enter.
  • Store the entered name in the user_input variable.
  • Print a greeting message using the entered name.

Getting Numerical Input:

• By default, input() returns a string. To get numerical input, you need to convert the string to the desired data type:

Python

age = int(input("Enter your age: ")) 
print("You are", age, "years old.")

• This code:
  • Prompts the user to enter their age.
  • Uses int() to convert the user's input (which is a string) into an integer.

Example with Error Handling:

Python

try:
    number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    print("You entered:", number)
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")

• This code includes a try-except block to handle potential errors.
• If the user enters something that cannot be converted to an integer (like letters), the ValueError will be caught, and an error message will be displayed.

Key Points:

• The text within the input() function is the prompt displayed to the user.
• Always consider potential input errors and handle them gracefully (as shown in the error handling example).

This should give you a good understanding of how to use the input() function to get keyboard input in Python.
