why cant i do this in python?

Question

why cant i do this:

ans = input(name, "whats the answer: ")

Answer 1

~ swim ~ it prints:

cat whats the answer:

and asks for the answrr

Answer 2

I think u can use string formatting
If name is a variable where u store name then u can try this
ans=input("{},whats the answer:".format(name))

Answer 3

Run help(input) and help(print) and compare what you get. input() expects one parameter (prompt) which can be None. You can't provide more arguments than the method accepts

Answer 4

Format your strings, input only accepts 1 parameter

ans = input(f"{name} whats the answer")

Answer 5

~ swim ~ as input also prints a value, it would make sense, that it would output text like print function.

Answer 6

The current value of name variable will be stored in placeholder {}

Answer 7

name= "mi nombre";

print nombre;
