Hi$,$

Why do we need an input function instead of writing it as a str$?$

Thanks!

An interactive program

You can instruct Python to pause and read data from the user using the input$()$ function:

input$($prompt$)$

The input$()$ function returns a string

name $=$ input$(\text{'}$Who are you?$\text{'})$

print$($f$\text{'}$Welcome to the class,$\{$name$\}!\text{'})$
