Question

What is raw_input? (NCERT Class 11th)

Answer 1

raw_input is a form of input that takes the argument in the form of a string whereas the input function takes the value depending upon your input.

• Say, a = input(1) returns a as an integer with value 1 whereas a=raw_input(1) returns a as a string of "1"
• The raw_input function prompts you for input and returns that as a string.
• The raw_input() function reads a line from input (i.e. the user) and returns a string by stripping a trailing newline
