                        Interactive Mode is very useful for testing a code as it displays the errors one by one.





                         INPUT AND OUTPUT

                  Python provides two commonly used functions input() and print() for input and output.

                  The input() Function

                  The input() function takes the user’s input while a program executes. The general syntax of the
                  input() function is as follows:

                  input([<prompt>])
                  Here, prompt is the string or message we wish to display on the screen. Example:

                     name = input("Enter your name: ")

                    >>> Enter your name: "Mohan"
                  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>...)
                  For example:

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

                       Program.py

                    File  Edit  Format    Run   Options   Window    Help

                    #Program to use the input( ) and
                    print( ) functions.                                           Output

                    age = input ("Enter your age:")                            Enter your age: 12
                    name = input ("Enter your name: ")                         Enter your name: Ankit
                    print (name, "your age is," age)                           Ankit your age is 12


                                                     Using input() and print() functions
