print variable and string

Question

I'm using Python 3 and I can't seem to figure out how to print something from an input and the thing that they input.

var = input("Enter something: ")
print("you entered")

I have something along these lines, and I need the print function to print "you entered" and what they input.

The answer is this:

var = input('Enter something:')
    print("You entered: %s") % (var)

This could also be done in one line:

print ("You entered: %s"%input('Enter something:'))

This does not work. I assume you meant to type `print("You entered ", var)`. – KSFT Feb 28 '15 at 02:46
Corrected it. I don't use python3 myself. @KSFT – Katpoes Feb 28 '15 at 02:48

What you input is stored in var, you need to %var to print what you input.

var = input('Enter something:')
print("You entered %s"%var)

The answer to your problem is to do this.

Here is what you are doing:

var = input("Enter something: ")
print("you entered")

Here is what you want to do:

var = input("Enter something:")
print("You Entered: %s") % (var)

You can also try this:

var = input("Enter something:")
print("You Entered:", var)

Or this:

print ("You entered: %s"%input('Enter something:'))

Hope this helps.
