Python list of inputs

[Chetan_Tiwary_]

How would you use Python’s input() to capture a full multi-line paragraph , ending only when the user presses Enter on a blank line?

for example, I want input() to read these lines :

Hello, everyone!
Welcome to RHLC.

Hi,

The idea here is to capture all user input until the user presses Enter on a blank line. To achieve this, we can use the input()function inside a loop, where the loop exits once an empty line is entered.

Each non-empty line is appended to a list of result lines. After the loop terminates, the list of lines is joined into a single paragraph string while preserving line breaks.

Below is the Python code that implements this logic:

def capture_multi_line_paragraph():
    """
    Captures multi-line input from the user, ending when a blank line is entered.
    """

    lines = []
    while True:
        line = input()
        if line == "":
            # Break the loop when an empty line (blank line) is received
            break
        lines.append(line)

    # Join the list of lines into a single paragraph string,
    # preserving the line breaks
    paragraph = "\n".join(lines)
    return paragraph

print(capture_multi_line_paragraph())

This code returns a single string containing all the user-entered lines, separated by newline characters, stopping input collection when a blank line is entered.

Hope this could help you, let me know for your feedback.
