Welcome back to the 100 Days of Code challenge! In this Python tutorial (Day 6), we dive deep into taking user input and enabling interaction with your programs. We show you how to use the simple built-in input() function to capture data from the keyboard. A crucial detail is learning that the input() function always returns the value as a string character. This behavior is key to understanding common beginner doubts, particularly why adding two inputs might result in string concatenation (joining strings, like '12' + '100' becoming '12100') rather than actual arithmetic addition (112). To correctly perform arithmetic operations, you must perform type casting—converting the input string into the required data type, such as an integer or float, using functions like int(). We also demonstrate the resulting ValueError when trying to convert non-numeric text (like "Harry") into an integer. Master user input and type conversion in Python today!
