how to receive input from user in python

var = input("Text: ")

var = input("text: ")

a = input("what is your input")

# if you want to ask the user to input anything, use the keyword "input"

# example

a = input("What is your name") # the user will be prompted to answer the question 

print(a) # this allows the user to actaully see the question or anything

while True:
    try:
        # Note: Python 2.x users should use raw_input, the equivalent of 3.x's input
        age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
        #better try again... Return to the start of the loop
        continue
    else:
        #age was successfully parsed!
        #we're ready to exit the loop.
        break
if age >= 18: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

x = input("enter prompt here: ")
