Input and Output Python3 Beginner #3

Input and Output? input() print() Lets make output look nice!

Joining strings Python allows us to add strings together with the + symbol Create a variable called: name = “draps” Then lets format our output a little: print(“Hello, my name is “ + name) The part in quotes is a hard coded string. More dynamic code. Alternatively print(“Hello, my name is“, name)

input() function input() name = input("Please enter your name: ") input() gets a string from the user.

Python files To get the true python coding experience we need to start writing instructions into a file. .py for Python! Create a file called tut3.py in your favorite text editor, I’ll use vim. Lets add some instructions similar to the ones we wrote just before.

Running .py files On linux, from the terminal you can execute a python script in the current directory by using the command: python3 tut3.py On Windows, right click the file and open with IDLE, then hit the run tab up the top and select “Run Module”

Multiply Program Lets make something a little more useful Lets edit tut3.py We will get two numbers from the user Times them together and output the answer to the console.
