Saving Python Program INPUT AND OUTPUT

Follow these steps to save a Python program: Python provides two commonly used functions, input() and print() for input and output.

3 Select the desired location The input() Function
to save the file.
The input() function takes the user’s input while a program is executing. The general syntax of the

1 Click on the input() function is as follows:
File menu. input(<prompt>)

Here, a prompt is the string or message we wish to display on the screen. Example:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
Click on the Save >>> Enter your name: Mohan
2 option. The Save As
dialog box appears. The name 'Mohan' entered by the user will be stored in the variable 'name'.
By default, Python considers the input as a string, even if you entered a number as input. You cannot
perform calculations on a string. To perform calculations, you need to convert the string an into integer
or floating-point value. To do so, Python provides the following functions:

int(): It is used to change the input data value into an integer. For example,
4 Enter the name of the file in 5 Click on Save
the File name box. button. a = int(input("Enter a number "))
Now, the valid value entered is converted into an integer value.
The file will be saved by the given name at the selected location.
float(): It is used to change the input value into a floating-point value. For example,
Running a Python Program a = float(input("Enter a number "))

Follow these steps to run a Python program: Now, the valid value entered is converted into a floating-point value.

program in Python.
The general syntax of the print() function is as follows:

The program will execute and the output will be shown in the Shell window. print ([<expression 1> , <expression 2>...])
For example:
Factbot print ("Python is easy").
