                     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 automatically 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.
