Taking multiple inputs from user in Python

Last Updated : April 20, 2025

To understand the given examples for taking multiple user inputs, you should have knowledge of the following Python topics:

• Python print() method
• Print multiple Python variables
• Python input() method

Taking multiple inputs at once

To take multiple inputs from the user in Python, you can simply use the combination of input() and split() method like input().split() and write the multiple values as input with separators/delimiters.

Let's understand the split() method.

Python split() method

The split() method is one of the library methods in Python, it accepts multiple inputs and brakes the given input based on the provided separator if we don't provide any separator any whitespace is considered as the separator.

Syntax

Below is the syntax to take multiple user inputs with separators:

input("Prompt Message").split([separator], [maxsplit])

Here, separator and maxsplit are the optional parameters, they can be used for the specified purposes.

Taking multiple inputs separated by whitespace

If the given input is separated by the whitespaces, you can use the .split() method without specifying the separator/delimiter.

Example

# input two integer numbers and print them

# Taking multiple inputs
a, b = input("Enter two integer numbers : ").split()

# Printing the values
print("a :", a, "b :", b)

# input name, age and percentages of the student
# and print them
name, age, perc = input("Enter student's details: ").split()

print("Name :", name)
print("Age :", age)
print("Percentage :", perc)

Output

Enter two integer numbers : 100 200
a : 100 b : 200
Enter student's details: Bharat 21 78
Name : Bharat
Age : 21
Percentage : 78

Taking multiple inputs separated by commas

If the given input is separated by the commas, you can use .split() method by specifying the comma (,) as a separator/delimiter in it.

Example

# input two integer numbers and print them

# Taking multiple inputs
a, b = input("Enter two integer numbers : ").split(",")

# Printing the values
print("a :", a, "b :", b)

# input name, age and percentages of the student
# and print them
name, age, perc = input("Enter student's details: ").split(",")

print("Name :", name)
print("Age :", age)
print("Percentage :", perc)

Output

Enter two integer numbers : 100,200
a : 100 b : 200
Enter student's details: Bharat,21,99
Name : Bharat
Age : 21
Percentage : 99

Python Taking Multiple Inputs Exercise

1. To take multiple inputs in a single line from the user, we use the ___ method in Python. --Select-- input().split() input().split(',') input().join()
2. When using the `input().split()` method, the default separator between inputs is ___. --Select-- space comma tab
3. To convert each input value to an integer after using `input().split()`, we can use ___ in Python. --Select-- map(int, input().split()) int(input().split()) input().split(int)
