               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.
