A value returned by the input () function is:

Question

Options

• Aan integer
• Ba oat
• Ca string

• A
  16% (5)
• B
  10% (3)
• C
  74% (23)

Explanation

Python's input() function always returns a string - even when the user types a number like 42, Python stores it as "42" (text), not a numeric value. This is why option C is correct.

Options A and B are wrong because input() performs no automatic type conversion; if you need an integer or float, you must explicitly wrap the call - int(input()) or float(input()) - otherwise you'll get a string regardless of what the user types.

Memory tip: Think of input() as a mailbox - it collects whatever the user "writes," and writing is always text. You have to open the letter and interpret it yourself (via int() or float()) if you need a number.
