How to add a slash to an input

Question

How do you add a slash(/) in front of an input e.g:

    a=input('What is your name')
    print(a)

it should print with a slash before the name?

Answer 1

Just append it before the name and print: print("/"+a)

Answer 2

or just print a dash:

print('-{}'.format(a))

or just print a dash:

print('-%s' % a)

or just print a dash (credits to @icodez):

print('-', a, sep='')

or just print dash (credits to @xndrme):

print('-'+a)

and the same works with a slash:

print('/{}'.format(a))
print('/%s' % a)
print('/', a, sep='')
print('/'+a)

;-)

Answer 3

Just print a dash* and set the sep parameter of print to '' (to remove the space after it)**:

a = input('What is your name')
print('-', a, sep='')

Below is a demonstration:

>>> a = input('What is your name')
What is your namebob
>>> print('-', a, sep='')
-bob
>>>

*Note: I used a dash (-) in my demonstrations because that is what you said. However, the same principle applies to a forwardslash (/).

**Note: I also assumed that you are on Python 3.x. If you are on version 2.x though, then you can do this:

>>> a = raw_input('What is your name')
What is your namebob
>>> print '-'+a
-bob
>>>
