Input and Print

Question

I am trying to get a input to be typed after the "Choice: " but i also want to continue "*" around the whole text... Im not sure how to do it even after trying multiple times with variations and research i couldn't dind an answer...

print("  ********School Quizes********  ")
print("  *                           *  ")
print("  *       A) Register         *  ")
print("  *       B) Loging           *  ")
print("  *       C) Quit             *  ")
print("  *                           *  ")
input("  *                Choice: ") & print(" *  ")

so that it is printed with "Choice:(here will be the input) * "

it part of a larger code which i have been asked to do because this sort of thing can be interpreted to be used in my school work too,,, — Alzz_HD, Nov 14 '17 at 20:41
`input(" * Choice: ") & print(" * ")` what's this? bitwise and on 2 functions? — Jean-François Fabre, Nov 14 '17 at 20:42

Technically, you could just do this:

print("  ********School Quizes********  ")
print("  *                           *  ")
print("  *       A) Register         *  ")
print("  *       B) Loging           *  ")
print("  *       C) Quit             *  ")
print("  *                           *  ")
input("  *       Choice:             *  ")

All the text in the quotation marks do is that it just acts as text to be prompted, which is why this works.

I can do it this way. But I feel this is really a hack...

x = input('''
  ********School Quizes********  
  *                           *  
  *       A) Register         *  
  *       B) Loging           *  
  *       C) Quit             *  
  *                           *  
                              *\r  *             Choice:    ''')
