Reading Input and Writing Output in Python (Overview)
You often need to set up a program to communicate with the outside world by obtaining input data from the user and displaying data back to the user. This course will introduce you to reading input and writing output in Python.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to:
- Take user input from the keyboard with the built-in function
input()
- Display output to the console with the built-in function
print()
00:00 In this course, you will learn how to read input and write output using Python.
00:06
You will go over this in a couple of lessons, starting with the first one, where you learn how to read input from the keyboard using the input()
function, then how to convert the input that you get from the input()
function also so that you can do numerical computations with it.
00:21
Then you will learn how to write the output back to the console using the print()
function and also how you can customize the output to your console with some keyword arguments that you can use with print()
. And finally, there will be a conclusion lesson where you go once again over all the functions that you used in this course.
00:39 Now let’s get started with reading some input from the keyboard.
