Input variable Python

Question

How to print variable typed by user, for example user types

var = input("Type variable name: ")

and program finds that var. and prints it

Sorry if this question already exists but i didn't find it. (Also sorry for my bad english)

You should create some sort of mapping between *strings* and the *objects* you are interested in. The use should have no knowledge of any *variables*. Just use a `dict` — juanpa.arrivillaga, Nov 07 '19 at 20:03
To echo @Sheri, once it's saved as a variable, all variables can be printed the same way in python, with `print()`. One nitpick with the posted code: `input()` already returns a string by default, so there's no need to cast it to a string with `str(input())`. If there's some other scenario you need, please provide a [mcve] for better answers — G. Anderson, Nov 07 '19 at 20:16

variableName = input("Type var name: ")

try:
  print(globals()[variableName])
except:
  print("Variable not found")
