For us, input can mean something someone else says, and in coding it is not so different. Input is a way to interact with the uer by asking them to assign a value to something.
There can be different kinds of input according to the variable it will store, which can be integers, floats, simple string or so on. You can define what kind of input your user will introduce by defining it when you are writting a code, as follows:
Likewise, if you are going to be using decimals you can specify it by using float
Regardless, for basic handling of the input, like printing it, you can simply write it as
variable= input(“Whatever you want to put”)
