How to print the docstring(documentation string) of the input function ? - Kishore_Bill - Feb-27-2020
Write a python script to print the docstring(documentation string) of the input function in Python 3? I’m new to Python and unable to find the answers for this question. I tried myself as below but no luck.
answer = input("question?") # calls the function
obj = input # doesn't call the function
docs = myobject.__doc__
docs = len.__doc__
print(something)

Not very clear what you try to achieve, but
>>> print(input.__doc__) Read a string from standard input. The trailing newline is stripped. The prompt string, if given, is printed to standard output without a trailing newline before reading input. If the user hits EOF (*nix: Ctrl-D, Windows: Ctrl-Z+Return), raise EOFError. On *nix systems, readline is used if available. >>>
