VB.NET Console Appilication Equivalent Of Python Input()

Question

In python to assign an input to a variable with the input() function now i know the vb equivalent would be variable = console.readline but with python you can specify text in the input eg name = input("Enter your name") Is there such a way to do this in vb without writing them on two seperate lines?

-Thanks

Would writing your own function to do this satisfy your requirement? Otherwise, ReadLine won't write to the console and WriteLine won't read from the console. — Lance U. Matthews

Short answer no. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/… it doesn't accept any arguments. As the_lotus said you could simply make your own method which accepts a string and then does a writeline and readline for you. Saves you a bit of typing — ADyson

Public Class LikePython
    Public Shared Function Input(Optional Prompt As String = "") As String
        Console.Write(Prompt)
        Return Console.ReadLine
    End Function
End Class

Test

Sub Main()
    Dim foo As String
    foo = LikePython.Input
    Stop
    foo = LikePython.Input(">")
    Stop
End Sub
