How can I implement the following in python?
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::string a;
std::cout << "What is your name? ";
std::cin >> a;
std::cout << std::endl << "You said: " << a << std::endl;
}
Output:
What is your name? Nick
You said: Nick
Call
name = raw_input('What is your name?')
and
print 'You said', name
Look at the print statement and the raw_input() function.
Or look at sys.stdin.read() and sys.stdout.write().
When using sys.stdout, don't forget to flush.
print "You said:", raw_input("What is your name? ")
EDIT: as Swaroop mentioned, this doesn't work (I'm guessing raw_input flushes stdout)
The simplest way for python 2.x is
var = raw_input()
print var
Another way is using the input() function; n.b. input(), unlike raw_input() expects the input to be a valid python expression. In most cases you should raw_input() and validate it first. You can also use
import sys
var = sys.stdin.read()
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
more_lines = [line.strip() for line sys.stdin]
sys.stdout.write(var)
sys.stdout.writelines(lines+more_lines)
# important
sys.stdout.flush()
As of python 3.0, however, input() replaces raw_input() and print becomes a function, so
var = input()
print(var)
