Python - Built in Functions Part 2: Input and Output Functions

These functions are used for user interaction and data display.

Common Functions:

input(): Accepts input from the user as a string.

print(): Outputs data to the console.

format(): Format strings for better display.

Examples:

Basic input and output:

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Hello, " + name + "!")

Formatted string output:

age = 25

print("I am {} years old.".format(age))  # Output: I am 25 years old.

Multiline output:

print("Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3")

Explanation:

Input and output functions are vital for user interaction. For instance, input() enables dynamic data entry, while print() allows the program to share results or messages. The format() method enhances output readability by embedding variables directly into strings.
