Python Programs - Input and Output

Take input in one line and split into variables - Python Program

Example 1:
Python 

name, age = input("Enter name and age: ").split()
print("Name:", name)
print("Age:", age)

Output

 
OUTPUT  :
Enter name and age: Ronnie 22
Name: Ronnie
Age: 22

To take input in one line and split it into multiple variables in Python, the input() function is combined with the split() method.

1. Splitting by Whitespace (Default):

If the input values are separated by spaces, the split() method without any arguments can be used.

 

Example 2:
Python 

# Prompt the user for input
user_input = input("Enter multiple values separated by spaces: ")

# Split the input string into a list of strings
values = user_input.split()

# Assign the elements of the list to individual variables
# This assumes you know the number of values expected
if len(values) >= 3: # Example: expecting at least 3 values
    var1, var2, var3 = values[0], values[1], values[2]
    print(f"Variable 1: {var1}")
    print(f"Variable 2: {var2}")
    print(f"Variable 3: {var3}")
else:
    print("Not enough values entered.")

Output

 
OUTPUT  :
Enter multiple values separated by spaces: India is Great
Variable 1: India
Variable 2: is
Variable 3: Great
2. Splitting by a Specific Delimiter:

If the input values are separated by a character other than whitespace (e.g., comma, semicolon), the delimiter can be passed as an argument to the split() method.

 

Example 3:
Python 

# Prompt the user for input with a specific delimiter
user_input = input("Enter values separated by commas (e.g., apple,banana,orange): ")

# Split the input string using the comma as the delimiter
values = user_input.split(',')

# Assign the elements to variables
if len(values) >= 2: # Example: expecting at least 2 values
    item1, item2 = values[0], values[1]
    print(f"Item 1: {item1}")
    print(f"Item 2: {item2}")
else:
    print("Not enough items entered.")

Output

 
OUTPUT  :
Enter values separated by commas (e.g., apple,banana,orange): Apple,Banana,Orange
Item 1: Apple
Item 2: Banana

3. Converting to Different Data Types:

If the input values need to be converted to numerical types (integers, floats), the map() function can be used in conjunction with split().

 

Example 4:
Python 

# Prompt the user for numerical input
user_input = input("Enter two numbers separated by spaces: ")

# Split the input and convert to integers using map()
try:
    num1, num2 = map(int, user_input.split())
    print(f"First number (integer): {num1}")
    print(f"Second number (integer): {num2}")
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid input: Please enter valid numbers.")

Output

 
OUTPUT  :
Enter two numbers separated by spaces: 12 15
First number (integer): 12
Second number (integer): 15
