INPUT AND OUTPUT
Python provides two commonly used functions input() and output() 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>...]
Let’s create a program to use the input( ) and print( ) functions.
Using input() and 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.
