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.
