Colon in Python

Question

In Python is the usage of the colon to prompt the user to type something?
For example "What's your name":, would be displayed as;
What's your name:
Is the colon there, because an input from the user is required.
Without the colon can this work?

Answer 1

Yes it would still work. It just makes it easy to tell where the question ends. TIP: put a space after the : sign to make it look cleaner! 😉

Answer 2

Yes, without Colon(:) it works,example link:

# Write your name

# input() for asking to write
print ("Write your name")
''' If don't want to show "Write Your name" please delete it '''
a = input()
#Can show it 2 ways below:
print("Your name is:"+" "+a)
print ("Your name is" + " " + a)
