raw_input function in Python

Question

What is the raw_input function? Is it a user interface? When do we use it?

Answer 1

raw_input  is used to get the input from the user, raw_input([arg])), gets input from the user and returns the data input by the user in a string. Python 2.x versions use this method. 

Code example:

abc = raw_input("Who are you? ") 

print "Hello, %s." % abc
