                            INPUT AND OUTPUT

                     Python provides built-in functions to interact with users and handle input and output operations.

                     THE INPUT( ) FUNCTION

                     The input() function is used to take input from the user. It reads a line of text entered by the user,
                     which is then returned as a string.
                     Syntax of input() function:

                     input(<prompt>)
                     Here, the prompt is the string or message you want to display on the screen.
                     For example:

                     name = input("Enter your name: ")

                     >>> Enter your name: Ankit
                     The text ‘Ankit’ entered by the user will be stored in the variable name.

                     THE PRINT( ) FUNCTION
                     The print() function is used to display output on the screen in Python. It takes the specified text,
                     variable or value and prints it in the Python shell or terminal.

                                                                                                                      133
