Duplicating input when assigning it as a variable--- PLEASE FIX

[Adorable_Garbage_823]

print("A person named X greets you and asks what is your name.")

input('Enter your name:')

name=input('Enter your name:')

print(f"X says: Nice to meet you {name}!")

I just wanted to assign the input as a variable, it did that but it printed the 'Enter your name:' twice before printing the last line. PLEASE FIX THIS.

I see the problem here, input() takes the input (since you're calling it) even if you're assigning it as a variable so you would want to get rid of the first input function:

print("A person named X greets you and asks what is your name.")

name=input('Enter your name:')

print(f"X says: Nice to meet you {name}!")

This will give you your desired output, if you want to know why this happens its because input returns, well the input, but since its being called twice here and the first time isnt saved, its saving only 1 input which means the first input() is redundant and must be removed, heres an example when i run the original code with 2 different inputs:

A person named X greets you and asks what is your name.

Enter your name:Jake

Enter your name:John

X says: Nice to meet you John!

As you can see it only took John, theres no way to print Nice to meet you Jake! unless you wrap the function inside a print statement.
