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

The easiest way that I found for myself was using split function with input Like you have two variable a,b

a,b=input("Enter two numbers").split()

That's it. there is one more method(explicit method) Eg- you want to take input in three values

value=input("Enter the line")
a,b,c=value.split()

EASY..

Answer 2

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())

Answer 3

If you need to take two integers say a,b in python you can use map function.
Suppose input is,

1
5 3
1 2 3 4 5

where 1 represent test case, 5 represent number of values and 3 represents a task value and in next line given 5 values, we can take such input using this method in PYTH 2.x Version.

testCases=int(raw_input())
number, taskValue = map(int, raw_input().split())
array = map(int, raw_input().split())

You can replace 'int' in map() with another datatype needed.

Answer 4

This is a sample code to take two inputs seperated by split command and delimiter as ","

---

>>> var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split(',')
>>>enter two numbers:2,3
>>> var1
'2'
>>> var2
'3'

---

Other variations of delimiters that can be used are as below :
var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split(',')
var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split(';')
var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split('/')
var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split(' ')
var1, var2 = input("enter two numbers:").split('~')

Answer 5

This solution is being used for converting multiple string like ("22 44 112 2 34") to an integer list and you can access to the values in a list.

n = input("") # Like : "22 343 455 54445 22332"

if n[:-1] != " ":
n += " "

char = ""
list = []

for i in n :
    if i != " ":
        char += i
    elif i == " ":
        list.append(int(char))
        char = ""

print(list) # Be happy :))))

Answer 6

The solution I found is the following:

---

Ask the user to enter two numbers separated by a comma or other character

value = input("Enter 2 numbers (separated by a comma): ")

Then, the string is split: n takes the first value and m the second one

n,m = value.split(',')

Finally, to use them as integers, it is necessary to convert them

n, m = int(n), int(m)
