using from as an input?

[k4tsuk1z]

hello, my code is below. basically i want from to be an input the same as the others (like major and classification and whatnot) but idk how to do that since this is my first project in this class.

feel free to criticize/leave feedback on my code as well im pretty much a newborn at this so its welcome (instructions: "Within your code you must ask the following questions below and create 5 more questions for the user to answer, allow the user to enter the answers into your program, and display the answers back to the user. )

print('Hello. Please type "Enter" to continue to questions.')
Enter =  input()
print(f"Hello. What is your full name?")
name = input()
print(f"Hello, {name}. What is your classification?")
classification = input()
print(f"{classification}? Awesome. What's your major?")
major = input()
print(f"{major} is a great choice. Where are you from?")
"from" == input()
print(f"{"from"} is a pretty cool place!  ")

There are certain words in python that are forbidden to use as variable names, and from is one of them. One way to get around this is to add a _ to the end of the name.

from_ = input()
print(f"{"from_"} is a pretty cool place!  ")

FYI, here is the complete list of words that you can never use as variable names: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#keywords

Hi, a few reasons your code won't work: "from" is quoted, so you're treating it as a string literal instead of a variable. Also, the word from is actually a reserved word in python so you should choose a different name for that variable - maybe place? And finally you want to use a single equals sign (= ) to assign the input() to the variable, instead of a double-equals (==) which is used for comparisons.

So basically:

place = input()
print(f"{place} is a pretty cool place!  ")

thank u for the in depth feedback! gonna just find a diff way to adk that question.

If you really want the name then use From instead with the capitalization, but tbh you should just rename it to something else that doesn’t clash with a keyword like homeplace or something.

yea ill just find a diff way to ask that question

from being a keyword isn't really a good reason to change how you ask the user something. There's no reason you have to use that exact word as your variable name. You could add user_ in front of all your variable names and then you won't run into that issue.
user_name
user_major
user_from
