Input & output statements
wHat are i/0
statements?
An input/output statement or I/O statement is a

portion of a program that instructs a computer how to
read and process information.
Functions like input() and print() are widely used for

standard input and output operations respectively.
Input function
wHat is input
Function?
The input() function allows a user to insert a value into

a program. input() returns a string value. You can
convert the contents of an input using any data type.
Python provides an input() function.
Example:
#Enter a input
a = input() Output
Print(a) a=3
Input function
wHat is input
Function?
Input function with the display string. The display

string can be placed either using single quotes or
double quotes.
Example:
#Enter your name
name = input(‘Enter your name’)
Print (name)
Output
name = ‘Python’
Input function
wHat is input
Function?
Python takes all the input as a string data type by

default. To convert it to any other data type we have to
convert the input using explicit type conversion. For
example, to convert the input to int or float we have to
use the int() and float() method respectively.
Example:
#Enter your age
a = int(input(‘Enter your age’))
Output
add = a+1 a = 31
print (add)
input formatting
syntax - input()
Input Output
num = input('Enter a number: ')

print(num) ‘10’
If you notice the above code, although the given input is of number the output is considered as a string data type.
You may use type conversion to convert the above number either into int or float data type.
num = int(input('Enter a number: '))

print(num) 10
#int() is a type conversion function. It helps to convert to integer
num = float(input('Enter a number: '))

print(num) 10.0
#float() is a type conversion function. It helps to convert to float

Output - print function
wHat are Output
statements?
We use the print() function to get an output data to the

standard output device (screen).
Example:
a=5
print (‘The value of a is’, a)
Output
The value of a is 5
Standard print () function
Syntax
print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)

Here, objects are the value(s) to be printed.
sep - The separator is used between the values. It defaults into a space
character.
After all values are printed, the specified end symbol is printed. By default
it creates a new line.
The file is the object where the values are printed and its default value is
sys.stdout (screen). The flush makes sure that any output that is buffered
goes to the destination.
Object
s
Objects is the value or values to be printed.
The values are converted to string before print.

Example:
a = ‘Hello World’
print (a)
Output
Hello World
separator
The separator or sep is used between the values. It

defaults into a space character.
Note: If you don’t specify separator, space is used as a

separator by default.
Example:
Output
print(1,2,3,4, sep=”,”) 1, 2, 3, 4
end
End ( end ) specify what to print at the end.
Note: It defaults into a new line.

Example:
Output
print(1, 2, 3, 4, sep=’*’, end=’&’)
1*2*3*4&
file
File (file) is the object where the values are printed and
its default is sys.stdout (screen).
flush
The flush() method in Python file handling clears the

internal buffer of the file. The flush makes sure that
any output that is buffered goes to the destination.

Output formatting
String
formatting
This can be done by using the str.format() method.

This method is visible to any string object.
Example:
age = 20
print(‘I am {} years old’.format(age))
Output
I am 20 years old
output formatting
String formatting
examples
Input Output
x = 15
y = 20 The value of x is 15 and y is 20
print('The value of x is {} and y is {}'.format(x,y))
print('I Love {0} and {1}'.format('Coding','Programming')) I Love Coding and Programming
print('I Love {1} and {0}'.format('Coding','Programming')) I Love Programming and Coding
print('Hello {name}, {greeting}'.format(greeting =

Hello John, Goodmorning
'Goodmorning', name = 'John'))

Escape
sequence
Escape Sequence Description Example Output
print("line1 \ line1 line2 line3

Backslash means new
\ line is ignored
line2 \
line3")
print("Python \n Python
\n New line
Programming") Programming
print("Python \t
\t ASCII Horizontal Tab (TAB) Python Programming
Programming")
Output formatting
% Operator -
float
Input Output Remarks
x = 12.3456789 It display after decimal point two

The value of x is 12.35
print('The value of x is %.2f' %x) digits because of 2f.
It display after decimal point four

print('The value of x is %.4f' %x) The value of x is 12.3457
digits because of 4f.
It display after decimal point five

print('The value of x is %.5f' %x) The value of x is 12.34568
digits because of 5f.

Split method
What is split
method?
The split() method splits a string into a list. You can
specify the separator, default separator is any
whitespace.
Syntax
string.split(separator, maxsplit)
Example:
txt = "I Love Python Programming"
x = txt.split(" ")
print(x)
Output
['I', 'Love', 'Python', 'Programming']
Map Function
What is Map
Function?
Python's map() is a built-in function that allows you to

process and transform all the items in an iterable
without using an explicit for loop, a technique
commonly known as mapping.
The map() is useful when you need to apply a

transformation function to each item in an iterable.
Map Function
What is Map
Function?
Example
x, y, z = map(int,input("enter numbers: ").split())
print(x+y+z)
Output
enter numbers: 1 2 3
