Using input command in python


Today i will show you that how can you use input command in python language, so we will write a simple program that will ask for any name or value and then print that name or value.

So here is our simple program.
a=input("Enter your name")
print(a)

as you can see we have declared "a" a variable that will ask for input "Enter your name" and then print command will print the variable "a". So anything we will type will be printed. As show in the picture below.

python program


But here you have to remember, if you are working with integers for some mathematical work than you have to declare input type as integer because then python will take input type as integer and not as word. As show in the picture below.

Python input
As you can see the syntax that how can we declaring the input type,,int, we have to write int then in brackets we have to enter the input command, int stands for integer and it will declare our input as integer, we have and in print command we have instructed to add a+b, so our program will add both entered values of a and b. Now see its output in the image below
Python output
This is the output that we will get of the above code, it is asking for two integers and then adding them  

If we don't declare our input as integer then python will not take our input as integer rather treat it as a word and will simply give us output 22 instead of 4 because our values will be treated as words and our command print(a+b) will just write them both of these values together instead of performing any arithmetic calculations. Kindly see the image below to get better understanding of it.

Writing first python program

  We are here to write our first program,it will  be an easy program just printing the entered word or value. The syntax of python language is very simple and easy and you dont have to confuse your mind with any complexity. So here is our first program print ( "Hello my name is abc" ) print command is used to display the output written in brackets with inverted commas. As we have typed the sentence "Hello my name is abc". So this command will simply print this sentence as show above in the picture.

Loop Statements

Loop STATEMENTS The Loop statements allow a set of instructions to be performed repeatedly until a certain condition is fulfilled. The iteration statements are also called loops or looping statements. THE FOR LOOP The for loop is the easiest to understand of the python loops. Syntax: For I in range(lowerlimit,upperlimit): Loop Body The program will run until I value becomes equal to upperlimit – 1. Example: For I in range(1,5): Print(“Hello”) This program will print Hello 4 times, ie from 1 to 4 (upper limit-1)  I value will start as 1 then loop body will get executed and I value will be incremented. This keeps on taking place until I ==upper limit-1 . After that the program comes out of loop body. THE WHILE LOOP The second loop available in python is the while loop. The while loop is an entry controlled loop. The syntax of a while loop is while (expression): Loop-body Where loop body keep on getting executed until the expression becomes false. When the expression becomes false, th...

Learning Python Basics

                           Python Basics What is VARIABLES in Python? As the name implies the meaning, a variable is something which can be change. A variable is a way of referring to a memory location used by a computer program. A variable is a symbolic name for this physical location. This memory location contains values, like numbers,text or more complicated types. Variables can be treated as a container which can store some value in it. In any other languages for example C++, This is how you write a variable int a = 20 Where int is data type of the variable. Int stands for integer. String refers to text or collection of characters. It is represented in single quotes or double quotes. Float refers to decimal point numbers. In Programming languages like C++ you have to specify the data type of a variable. But in python you don’t have to worry about data type. Whatever value  you give the variable, py...
