List of inputs

Question

When I code with input() and run it, I am asked to fill the list of items what do I do?

Answer 1

@ besides of using input as mentioned by Rain , we can also do the input in one line if requested. see the samples for string and integer input.

# multiple inputs for string values:
(the individual input values have to be separated by a character like space or comma. the sample below uses a comma as separator. no conversion of input data is required. the result is a list of strings)

inp_str = input().split(',')
print(inp_str)
# input: 'paul,mary,dan,liz' (input requires no quotes)
# result: ['paul', 'mary', 'dan', 'liz']

# multiple inputs for integer values:
(in this case, numerical values uses also a comma as separator. then each of the separated input value get mapped with the int() function, so a convertion from the default string value to an integer value is done. the result is a list of integers)

inp_int = list(map(int, input().split(',')))
print(inp_int)
# input: 7,42,-4,70
# result: [7, 42, -4, 70]

Answer 2

Enter multiple inputs with seperate lines.

Input don't accept list directly.

Answer 3

In other words, hit the Enter key after each item to go to the next line, but only hit SUBMIT after the last item to send all of them.
