Input or raw_input?

Question

Can anyone tell me the difference between input and raw_input in Python and how to use both?

Answer 1

The difference is that raw_input() does not exist in the Python 3.x, while input() exists. In fact the old raw_input() was renamed to input() and the old input() no longer exists (although it can be simulated using eval(input()).

What I’ve been researching, in Python 2.x, the command input() "evaluates" the context in which the call was made. The following example:

>>> x = input()
"hello"
>>> y = input()
x + " world"
>>> y
'hello world'

Answer 2

raw_input() returns the value entered as string, while input() returns the value as integer Note: input() only accepts numbers
