Yes, but when you need more than one input the code Playground will only ask you once, and without showing anything else (with one too), like if you wanted to do a calculator when the user runs it he has to write the operation and numbers all at once (the different inputs are separated pressing enter and writing each in a different line)

Yes, but it doesn't work as you would expect. When you run you script the playground environment says that it sees that you require input and presents you a text box, however you do not get the prompt that you programmed, just an empty box. once you enter your input the script will run.

if you need to input more than 1 thing at the beginning you can input 1 thing then press return and input another and so on, but once you run the program it will throw an error when it gets to other inputs

I saw someones code last week that was asking for input on two lines, They had commented instructions at start of code to tell user about the inputs, which I thought was a good way of getting round instructing user input, but also handy that it's possible to give multiple inputs. Frustratingly I can't remember who's code it was, I think one of the popular ones, but a quiz would be possible, commenting the questions I just tried something in the playground, just put input on seperate lines: a=input() b=input() will expect two inputs on two lines oma, i posted the code I just did, feel free to use it and build on, i called it simple math quiz, you could easily add a counter
