Any information or data sent to an application for processing is considered user input.
Eg – app taking orders, taking photos, etc.
In python, we as developers can ask the user for input.
Note: in python 2.7, we used raw_input() for taking user input but now, in python 3.7+, we use input().
Practical Example
Assuming we have an online restaurant application, we need to ask our users, what will they like to have.
What will you like to have: pizza
You ordered for pizza
To create the above application, we need to take user input in Python.
Syntax for User Input in Python
Variable_name = input("Prompt")

| print("You ordered for " + order) |
OUTPUT:
What will you like to have: pizza
You ordered for pizza
