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.  

Code Simple Calculator in python

  We are going to write code for a simple calculator in python, It will show you that how can you use basic python statements and function to make a calculator that will do addition, subtraction,multiplication and division. Calculator python coding: def add (a , b): return a + b def subtract (a , b): return a - b def multiply (a , b): return a * b def divide (a , b): return a / b print ( "Select Desired Operation." ) print ( "1.Add" ) print ( "2.Subtract" ) print ( "3.Multiply" ) print ( "4.Divide" ) while True : choice = input ( "Enter choice(1/2/3/4): " ) if choice in ( '1' , '2' , '3' , '4' ): num1 = float ( input ( "Enter first number: " )) num2 = float ( input ( "Enter second number: " )) if choice == '1' : print (num1 , "+" , num2 , "=" , add(num1 , num2)) elif choice == ...
