What is the correct Python script syntax to prompt for input?

AhostIP = input('Device IP address: ')

BhostIP = input{Device IP address: }

ChostIP = input'Device IP address: '

Dinput('Device IP address: ') = hostIP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In Python, the correct syntax to prompt the user for input and store that input in a variable is:

input(prompt): The input() function is used to take input from the user. The string provided as an argument (inside the parentheses) is displayed as a prompt to the user. The input provided by the user is returned as a string and can be stored in a variable.

Example:

hostIP = input('Device IP address: ')

In this example, 'Device IP address: ' is the prompt displayed to the user, and the user's input will be stored in the variable hostIP.

Options B, C, and D are syntactically incorrect in Python.

Python Official Documentation: Describes the use of the input() function for getting user input.

Python Tutorials: Various tutorials demonstrate how to properly use the input() function in scripts.

If you can't remember the syntax for input(), you might as well give up on Python altogether. Option A is the only correct answer here.

D? Really? That's just plain wrong. Option A is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Who needs input() when you can just print('Device IP address: ') and type it manually? #OldSchoolCoding

User3: User2, that's true but using input() is more efficient and user-friendly.
