# User Inputs

Reference: <https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#input>

The `input()` function allows us to capture user input from the command-line (and usually store the result in a variable):

```python
x = input("Please input a number:")

print(x)
```

> NOTE: the resulting value will be a string
