Python Tutorial 5: Raw_Input (User Input)

This video covers how to read in information from user input and store it to a variable. Then we use that variable to display the user input on the screen. Also, it covers type casting where we convert a string variable into an integer variable. Finally, we learn how to create a new Python script. Demonstrated on Mac OS X.

Code:
#store the user input to a variable called 'name'
#raw_input returns a string
name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
#store the user input to a variable called number
#int converts the string to an integer
number = int(raw_input("How many apples were picked today? "))
#display 'Hello blank!" where the user input replaces the blank
print "Hello %s!" %name

For Python version 3.6.1, the code should be as following:

name = input ("What is your name?")
print ("Hello %s" % name)

Nice! Never knew you could save an input in a variable. Is there any way you could save the input in a permanent variable even if you reset "the blank window"? Hope it makes sense

What is the "int" before the raw_input? In some examples, there is ''Int(raw_input())

[andDONEson]

How do you change the color of the text that you input?

[williamwordsworth]

Another way to do this

name = raw_input ("What is your name?")
print "Hello %s." % (name)

If youre using Version 3 of python there is no longer and raw_input only input

[silverpylorc]

I don't know how to do this on python 3, it won't work.
