Two values from one input in python?

Question

This is somewhat of a simple question and I hate to ask it here, but I can\'t seem the find the answer anywhere else: is it possible to get multiple values from the user in

Answer 1

In Python 3, raw_input() was renamed to input().

input([prompt])

If the prompt argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline. The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string (stripping a trailing newline), and returns that. When EOF is read, EOFError is raised.

So you can do this way

x, y = input('Enter two numbers separating by a space: ').split();
print(int(x) + int(y))

If you do not put two numbers using a space you would get a ValueError exception. So that is good to go.

N.B. If you need old behavior of input(), use eval(input())
