8. Input and Output

1. Input and output

✓ Input represents data given to the program.

✓ Output represents the result of the program.

2. Hard coding

✓ Till now we have executed examples by hard coding values to variables

✓ In this chapter we will learn how to take values at run time.

Program Hard coding the values

Name demo1.py

age = 16
print(age)

output
16

✓ Based on requirement we can take values at runtime or dynamically as

well.

Please enter the age: 16

Entered value is: 16

3. input(p) function

✓ input(p) is a predefined function.

✓ This function accepts input from the keyboard.
✓ This function takes a value from keyboard and returns it as a string type.
✓ Based on requirement we can convert from string to other types.

Program Printing name by taking value at run time

Name demo2.py

name = input("Enter the name:")

print("You entered name as:", name)

Run py demo2.py

Output
Enter the name: Daniel
You entered name as: Daniel

Program Printing name and age by taking value at run time

Name demo3.py

name = input("Enter the name: ")

age = input("Enter the age: ")

print("You entered name as: ", name)

print("You entered age as: ", age)

Run py demo3.py

Output
Enter the name: Prasad
Enter the age: 16

 Data Science – Python Input and Output

You entered name as: Prasad

You entered age as: 16

Program Checking return type value for input() function

Name demo4.py

value = input("Enter the value ")

print("Entered value as: ", value)
print("type is: ", type(value))

Run py demo4.py

Output
Enter the value: Daniel
Entered value as: Daniel
type is: <class ‘str’>

Run py demo4.py

Output
Enter the value:123
Entered value as: 123
type is: <class 'str'>

Run py demo4.py

Output
Enter the value:123.456
Entered value as: 123.456
type is: <class 'str'>

4. Convert from string to int

✓ We can convert the string value into int value.

✓ int(p) is a predefined function
✓ This function converts to int data type.

Program Converting from string to int data type

Name demo5.py

a = "123"
print(a)
print(type(a))

b = int(a)
print(b)
print(type(b))

Output

123
<class 'str'>
123
<class 'int'>

Program Converting from string to int data type

Name demo7.py

a = input("Enter a value:")
print("Your value is:", a)
print("data type is:", type(a))

b = int(a)
print("After converting the value is:", b)
print("data type is:", type(b))

Run py demo5.py

Output

Enter a value:123
Your value is: 123
data type is: <class 'str'>
After converting the value is: 123
data type is: <class 'int'>

5. Convert from string type to other type

✓ We can convert the string value into float value.

✓ float(p) is a predefined function
✓ This function converts to float data type.

Program Converting from string to float data type

Name demo8.py

a = "123.99"
print(a)
print(type(a))

b = float(a)
print(b)
print(type(b))

Output

123.99
<class 'str'>
123.99
<class 'float'>

Program Converting from string to float data type

Name demo9.py

a = input("Enter a value:")
print("Your value is:", a)
print("data type is:", type(a))

b = float(a)
print("After converting the value is:", b)
print("data type is:", type(b))

Run py demo9.py

Output

Enter a value:123.99
Your value is: 123.99
data type is: <class 'str'>
After converting the value is: 123.99
data type is: <class 'float'>

6. Convert float data type value into int data type

✓ int(p) is predefined function in python.

✓ This function converts value into int data type

Program Converting from float to int data type

Name demo10.py

a = 10000.45
print(a)
print(type(a))

b = int(a)
print(b)
print(type(b))

Output

10000.45
<class 'float'>
10000
<class 'int'>

Program + operator concatenates/joins two string values

Name demo11.py

p1 = input("Enter First product price:")

p2 = input("Enter Second product price:")

print("Total price is:", p1+p2)

Run py demo11.py

Output

Enter First product price:111

Enter Second product price:222
Total price is: 111222
