User input

Question

Can someone help me understand this? I keep assigning a input but it keeping outputting it twice.

I have reached the 16.2 questions and regardless of my input the output keeps coming back with other wording.

Write a program that takes the text as input and outputs it by adding 3 stars at the beginning and the end.

Sample Input
this is awesome

Sample Output
*** this is awesome ***

Every time I attempt my code the word hello is inputted also even though it’s not put in

Answer 1

Victoria Thomas ,

if you use the code done by Jotin Rai , you can not pass the test cases because:
(the code itself has no issue, but it is not conform with the task description)

a = input("Plzz enter some text")
print("★★★",a,"★★★")

▪︎input has an argument, which is not allowed in code coach exercises
▪︎the code uses some special stars for output, and therefore will also fail with the test cases

try this:
▪︎remove everything inside the parenthesis of the input() function: a = input()
▪︎replace the special stars by this: '***'

happy coding and good success!

Answer 2

Victoria Thomas ,

the code works as expected. if you input "Tom" as name, the screen will show:

Enter your name: Tom
Hello, Tom

the first line is the user prompt and what you have typed in, the second line is the output. this is when the code is executed in a external IDE.

in sololearn the output is different:

Enter your name: Hello, Tom

this is caused by the way playground is working

Answer 4

Simply input function prints your argument then waiting enter key to be pressed then read what user was typed until '\n' in other word ( enter key ) and return you back with user input

if you miss some thing, mention me

Answer 5

name = input()
print(f"Hello, {name.title()}")

Answer 7

Lothar & Kyrillos Akram ,

The 16.2 exercise in Python isnt giving me these result. The results keep showing different words than the ones i am using

Answer 8

Hi Victoria!
Did you try something else?
name = input()
print("Hello, "+name)

But for me, 16.2 shows a different challenge.

Answer 9

Hi JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK Learner

Thats just the example i posted because the challenge is confusing me. It saying to use the format of the example to create ***this is awesome*** symbols included but when i use the formula given in the example my answers come back with the word hello and i didnt even type in hello.

Answer 14

Share your code

Answer 15

Time Is Money
My code is what was suggested by Jotin Rai. I can’t share what was ran since it’s a challenge. When what he suggested is ran no matter what is put in that sequencer extra wording of hello is added. Nothing is wrong with the code i need to figure out why the extra wording is showing
