use of input() in my own function

Question

How do I use input in my own function?
for example:

>>> def f_input():
>>> player1=input("Player 1 choose \n")
>>> player2=input("player 2 choose \n")

How can i call 'player1' and 'player2' outside of the function?

Answer 1

thanks both of you... really helpful!!!

Answer 2

You can wrap them (player1 and player2) in a tuple and return it. Then f_input caller can use it.

def f_input():
player1 = input("Player 1")
player2 = input("Player 2")
return (player1, player2)

# main
players = f_input()
print(players, type(players))
