User name input

Question

When I use the code:

x = input("John")
print("Welcome" + x)

I get an output of...

JohnWelcome

...Instead of an expected "Welcome John"

What on earth is going on here?

Answer 1

Hello.

The input() Syntax is:

input(prompt)

The input() function allows user input.

When you put a string value in the input() for example:

input("Name:")

You create a prompt that will display to the user.

Name:

In your case you have input("john") :

So, the output is:

John

So, when you print ("Welcome" + x)

You get JohnWelcome

To avoid the confusion, you could do this

print('Enter your name:') # Prints Enter your name:
x = input() # Takes user input
print("Welcome " + x) # Prints Welcome + userinput

Answer 2

x = input ()
print ("welcome" + x )

Answer 3

Use:
print("Welcome " + x)
