20 days agoI’m not sure if I’m the best at explaining this, as I’m more fluent in C++, but effectively what is happening is you’re providing a prompt for the user’s input. The user’s input is then assigned to the variable.
In a lot of languages, this would be two lines of code and look something like this:
Output:"Please enter your name"
Name=input
Python is trying to simplify this process
Yeah, pretty much!
