Question

difference between input() and raw_input()​

Answer 1

Answer:

Basically, the difference between raw_input and input is that the return type of raw_input is always string, while the return type of input need not be string only. Python will judge as to what data type will it fit the best.

Answer 2

The raw_input() takes / returns input type as string whereas input() judges the data type and returns which it fits well.

NOTE: raw_input() doesn't exists in Python 3 and above. raw_input() is now renamed as input() only.
