The developer often wants a user to enter multiple values or inputs in one line. In C++/C user can take multiple inputs in one line using scanf but in Python user can take multiple values or inputs in one line by two methods.

Methods to Take multiple inputs from user

Using split() method :

This function helps in getting multiple inputs from users. It breaks the given input by the specified separator. If a separator is not provided then any white space is a separator. Generally, users use a split () method to split a Python string but one can use it in taking multiple inputs.

Syntax :

input().split(separator, maxsplit)

Implementations:

Python3
# Python program showing how to
# multiple input using split
# taking two inputs at a time
x, y = input("Enter two values: ").split()
print("Number of boys: ", x)
print("Number of girls: ", y)
# taking three inputs at a time
x, y, z = input("Enter three values: ").split()
print("Total number of students: ", x)
print("Number of boys is : ", y)
print("Number of girls is : ", z)
# taking two inputs at a time
a, b = input("Enter two values: ").split()
print("First number is {} and second number is {}".format(a, b))
# taking multiple inputs at a time 
# and type casting using list() function
x = list(map(int, input("Enter multiple values: ").split()))
print("List of students: ", x)

Output: 

Enter two values: 5 10
Number of boys: 5
Number of girls: 10
Enter three values: 5 10 15
Total number of students: 5
Number of boys is : 10
Number of girls is : 15
Enter two values: 5 10
First number is 5 and second number is 10
Enter multiple values: 5 10 15 20 25
List of students: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

Using map() with split():

Using map() with the split() method in Python is a powerful way to efficiently process input values. The split() method allows breaking a string into substrings based on a specified delimiter, often useful for parsing user input. By combining it with map() and a desired transformation function (like int() for converting to integers), we can swiftly convert these substrings into the desired data types and assign them to variables for further processing or calculations.

Syntax:

variable1, variable2, ... = map(datatype, input().split())

Implementations:

Python3
#Example with integers
a, b, c = map(int, input("Enter three integers separated by spaces: ").split())
print("Sum:", a + b + c)
#Example with floats:
x, y = map(float, input("Enter two floats separated by a space: ").split())
print("Product:", x * y)
#Example with strings:
name, age = input("Enter your name and age separated by a space: ").split()
print("Hello,", name + "! You are", age, "years old.")

Output:

Enter three integers separated by spaces: 5 10 15
Sum: 30
Enter two floats separated by a space: 3.5 2.5
Product: 8.75
Enter your name and age separated by a space: Alice 25
Hello, Alice! You are 25 years old.

Using List comprehension : 

List comprehension is an elegant way to define and create a list in Python. We can create lists just like mathematical statements in one line only. It is also used in getting multiple inputs from a user. 

Example: 

Python3
# Python program showing
# how to take multiple input
# using List comprehension
# taking two input at a time
x, y = [int(x) for x in input("Enter two values: ").split()]
print("First Number is: ", x)
print("Second Number is: ", y)
# taking three input at a time
x, y, z = [int(x) for x in input("Enter three values: ").split()]
print("First Number is: ", x)
print("Second Number is: ", y)
print("Third Number is: ", z)
# taking two inputs at a time
x, y = [int(x) for x in input("Enter two values: ").split()]
print("First number is {} and second number is {}".format(x, y))
# taking multiple inputs at a time 
x = [int(x) for x in input("Enter multiple values: ").split()]
print("Number of list is: ", x) 

Output :

Enter two values: 5 10
First Number is: 5
Second Number is: 10
Enter three values: 5 10 15
First Number is: 5
Second Number is: 10
Third Number is: 15
Enter two values: 5 10
First number is 5 and second number is 10
Enter multiple values: 5 10 15 20 25
Number of list is: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]


Note: The above examples take input separated by spaces. In case we wish to take input separated by comma (, ), we can use the following: 

Python3
# taking multiple inputs at a time separated by comma
x = [int(x) for x in input("Enter multiple value: ").split(",")]
print("Number of list is: ", x) 

Output

Python dictionary with keys having multiple inputs
Prerequisite: Python-Dictionary. How to create a dictionary where a key is formed using inputs? Let us consider an example where have an equation for three input variables, x, y, and z. We want to store values of equation for different input triplets. Example 1: C/C++ Code # Python code to demonstrate a dictionary # with multiple inputs in a key. i
How to Take Multiple Inputs Using Loop in Python
Taking multiple inputs in Python is a common task, especially when dealing with user interactions or processing data sets. Using a for loop can simplify the process and make the code more efficient. In this article, we will explore simple and commonly used methods to take multiple inputs in Python using loops in Python. Take Multiple Inputs Using L
Python - Distance between collections of inputs
scipy.stats.cdist(array, axis=0) function calculates the distance between each pair of the two collections of inputs. Parameters : array: Input array or object having the elements to calculate the distance between each pair of the two collections of inputs. axis: Axis along which to be computed. By default axis = 0 Returns : distance between each p
Find the average of an unknown number of inputs in Python
Prerequisites: *args and **kwargs in Python The special syntax *args in function definitions in python is used to pass a variable number of arguments to a function. It is used to pass a non-keyword, variable-length argument list. The syntax is to use the symbol * to take in a variable number of arguments; by convention, it is often used with the wo

Taking input in Python
Developers often have a need to interact with users, either to get data or to provide some sort of result. Most programs today use a dialog box as a way of asking the user to provide some type of input. While Python provides us with two inbuilt functions to read the input from the keyboard. input ( prompt )raw_input ( prompt ) input (): This functi
