i cant understand how basic input works. i do it like the lesson said but it still dosent work

Question

I need help with input

Answer 1

Lesson example:

s = input("Enter something please: ")
print(s)

Line 1 creates the input prompt and stores the text "Enter something please:" + whatever you enter. Its stored in the variable 's' so you just print(s) to see the full text.

Other example:

a = input()
print(a)

As per above but the only text is what you enter.

Answer 2

Can you share a code that should work, and it does not work?
what exactly don't you understand?
