input() function is not working

[HiraMariam]

I have added the input() function but it shows error in the shell

I encountered the same issue and made a workaround:

<code data-type="pre-exercise-code">
    import sys
    from io import StringIO
    sys.stdin = StringIO("input\n")
    del sys
</code>

Now the standart input has the string "input" hardcoded inside; it's not great, but it works. You can write it in the pre-exercise-code section, if you are configuratin' the exercise; or at the beginning of your python code, if you don't have the acess to the file itself.
