Python basics quiz

The question "to output something to the screen use the ___ function I put "print" for the answer before and it said correct but on the question "what method is used to capture user-provided data" I put "A input()" and it says incorrect. I retook the quiz and now it says "print" is incorrect and "input" is correct. Which of these is actually correct or incorrect?

I put in both "print and "input" and it said incorrect on both. I cant move on until I get it correct so I am sooooooooooo mad about that. What is CORRECT?

Print() outputs to the screen. Input() takes user input. Can't speak to the robustness of the quiz, maybe something got screwed up in loading the page.
