The print() Function


            The print() function is used to print an output on the screen. It converts the expressions into a string before
            writing to the screen. Syntax to use the print( ) function is:


            print(object(s), sep = separator, end = end)
            Where,
               • object can be one or more separated by comma and it can be a variable, literal, expression. An object will be
              converted to string before printed.
               • sep is used as a separator if there are more than one objects.
               • end specifies what to print at the end. Default is newline '\n'.

            Following are some of the examples of the print( ) function:

                                          Commands                                         Output

                 print("hello")                                                hello
                 print("hello", "friends")                                     hello friends

                 print("hello" + "friends")                                    hellofriends
                 (This is concatenation of string using "+"
                 operator)
                 print("hello", "friends", sep="$")                            hello$friends

                 print("hello", "friends", sep="$", end="!")                   hello$friends!
                 print("hello", "friends", end="!")                            hello friends!

                 print("hello")                                                hello
                 print()                                                       friends

                 print("friends")
                 print("hello", end="%")                                       hello%friends

                 print("friends")
                 print("hello", "friends", "welcome", sep="#",                 hello#friends#welcome@
                 end="@")
                 print("I am in class", 9)                                     I am in class 9
                 a = 5

                 b = 10                                                        Sum of two numbers is 15
                 print("Sum of two numbers is " + str(a + b))
                 age = 14                                                      I am 14 years old

                 print("I am ", age, " years old")


                    The input() Function

            The input( ) function is used to take an input from the user. When, this statement executes then the flow of
            the program stops and waits with the cursor blinking for the user to enter a value. The input given by the user
            is always a string value in Python.
