Input
There must be some mechanism for the user to input data to the computer.
What data can I input?
What data can I input?
- Data can be input from any device connected to the computer.
- The keyboard is the most common data input device for command line programs.
- We will only look at keyboard input in this course.
The input function
The input function
- Python has a built in function (command) which allows us to take keyboard input.
- We can use the code: input(“Prompt”) to take the input.
- We can write any text for the “Prompt”, which will be displayed to the user before they type their response.
Data type of input
Data type of input
- When data is entered from the keyboard, it is automatically a ‘string’.
- A string is a sequence of character inputs from the keyboard, for example ‘Hello’.
