I’m currently learning Python and am learning about very basic functions such as int()
, float()
, and input()
.
I have the first two down pat, but I’m struggling to understand the last. The example I’m looking at is found at 12:26 of this video:
nam = input('Who are you? ')
print('Welcome', nam)
Who are you? Chuck
Welcome Chuck
In this case, wouldn’t nam
be a variable equal to the text on the right side of the =
sign?
In which case, if nam
is equal to input('Who are you? ')
, then wouldn’t print('Welcome', nam)
just result in
Welcome input(Who are you? )
?
Obviously not (nor does it work in a compiler), which leads me to believe I’m clearly misunderstanding something. But I’ve rewatched that section of the video several times, and looked it up elsewhere on the web, and I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks.
