Yes, because on the first line you did input=input(...). Now the variable input refers to whatever string was returned by the input function, which is now shadowed and inaccessible. — juanpa.arrivillaga

Don't call the name of your variable the same as the function input

Looked at your code. Not quite get the purpose of your first line:

input=input("select the garment you purchased type 1 for shirt, 2 for pants, 3 for coats: ")

That could overwrite the input() function with whatever string you type in the command line. As a result, the later function call input() goes with that string, which is not a function, and not callable.
