What does the Python input() function do?

Question

Could someone tell me what does the Python input() function does?

Answer 1

In Python, the input() function returns a string irrespective of the type of data you have entered. Since whatever the input we will feed as input, it will be from a keyboard and hence it will be a string as the input from a keyboard will be a sequence of characters.
