Can you store multiple user input data into single variable - Python 3.6

Question

python noob here. I'm sure this is an easy question.. Is it possible to get numerical data collected from multiple user input questions into a single variable? For example, if I wanted to ask a user three questions:

int(input("What is your yearly income?"))

int(input("What is your partner's yearly income?"))

int(input("Enter any additional income"))

Can you store all of that data collected directly into a single variable named total_income. What I would like is to be able to get a sum total into a single variable.

Input in a single line(separated by space) or in multiple lines? — Rohit-Pandey

Just my curiosity, why would you stores each of your input into a separated list in the example given?? — caramel1995

I just removed the square brackets. I actually forgot to remove it as I copy and pasted it. I originally had a separate variable for each question that stored the input data in a list form. I was hoping to just sum each list into one master list but that failed. — Code98782363

for your edit : you need to change the text in input('bliblabla') to tell the user to enter all values in the line, separated by space, don't change the suggested split() method. The solution provided by @deepansh-sachdeva is more ergonomic for you and the user... — PRMoureu

the message should be like input("Enter your yearly income, your partner income and any additional income separated by a space").split() — PRMoureu

This might be helpful:

t = 0

t += int(input("What is your yearly income?"))
t += int(input("What is your partner's yearly income?"))
t += int(input("Enter any additional income"))

Deepansh Sachdeva, thank you very much. This is very simplistic and just what I needed. I was making it too complicated.

If your input in a single line(separated by space):

a=sum(map(int,input().split()))
print (a)
