User Input
In Python, we can take input from users using the input()
function.
User input is essential in programming because it allows interaction between the user and the program. Without input, programs would run the same way every time, making them predictable and limited. With user input, we can make programs dynamic, personalized, and engaging.
For example, in games, user input determines player actions (moving a character, choosing a weapon). In applications, it allows users to enter data (like a name in a form or a number in a calculator). In automation, scripts can ask for parameters instead of being hardcoded.
In Python, we use input()
to get user input. This makes the program wait for the user to type something, allowing it to respond based on the input. Would you like a simple example before we start the game? 🚀
Example: If we want the user to enter a direction, we can write:
direction = input("Enter a direction (left/right/up/down): ")
Try guiding the robot to the exit by entering the correct direction.
