The print() Function

The print() function prints or sends the output to the standard output device, which is usually a
monitor. This function auto converts the items to strings, i.e., if you try printing a numeric value, the
print() function will automatically convert it into equivalent string and print it. The print() function
also introduces spaces between items automatically. The general syntax of the print() function is as
follows:

print [<expression 1> , <expression 2>...]
Example:

print ("Python is easy").
Let's create a program to use the input( ) and print( ) functions.

Using input() & print() functions

VARIABLES IN PYTHON

Variables are memory reference points where we store values which can be accessed or changed
later. The names given to the variables are known as identifiers. In Python, we do not need to specify
the type of variable because Python is a dynamically typed language and it identifies the variable type
automatically. Let’s understand this with the help of the given examples.

num = 0.4
_price = 30.3

TOTAL = round(_price * num,2)

print(TOTAL)

Declaring and Initializing a Variable

In Python, variables are declared and initialised at the same time in the following way:

a = 10

b = 20
print ("a=", a)

print ("b=", b)
